This is a reworks of my previous RFC but with changes proposed by Thomas (plus other changes). Very cool, thanks. You are welcome! Boot as: * (isolinux) cdrom and cdrom-hibrid-disk: OK * (pxelinux) TFTP and HTTP: OK * (extlinux) /arch and /pepe: OK * (syslinux) /arch and /coco: OK, but see note (@)

You don't need mtools/syslinux at all if you can mount the device.
OMG!, was my fault!
syslinux works different than extlinux!
1) Device must not be mounted, before running syslinux (like in extlinux) 2) -d DIRECTORY is relative to root directory of the drive, so the _right_ command is # syslinux -i -d arch/boot/syslinux /dev/loop0p1
Wow, extlinux on fat32! great, I never know! Thanks you!
So... is working!

pushing this to master when next version of mkinitpcio hits [core].
When it does, can you update the wiki accordingly please?
Yes, no problem. I Just changed how build initramfs, using mkinitcpio -b can be broken for depending on what you are doing. The rest (syslinux config unification) is just a "releng" feature, in fact "baseline" profile is not affected, I just changed the initramfs build step ;) -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
