[arch-releng] RC2 ISOs and final release

[Dieter Plaetinck]

gave i686 core a spin in Virtualbox 32 bit.
ext4 autoprepare
no problems encountered. my keyboard layout was not put automatically
in rc.conf but I think this has always been the case.
all bugs that i could test seem fixed.  see below

forgot to check the copied file.. but the system booted and no fsck
needed.  my time is correct on first boot too.
