The systemd 254.2-1 package ships with IA32 systemd-boot, so it is
possible to use for booting on IA32 UEFI.
Perhaps they will be useful in the future.
At least for now, the baseline and releng profiles are not changed to
use them. When the issues and headaches caused with GRUB reach a
critical point, then we will switch.
Convert the file to reStructuredText markup.
Fixes#39.
Rewrite the instructions where possible or otherwise update them.
E.g. fix the changed boot loader paths, etc.
The "Manual formatting (BIOS only)", previosly "PC-BIOS (ISOHYBRID-MBR)",
method is not tested and it is not clear if it still even works.
archiso/initcpio/*:
Remove mkinitcpio-archiso scripts as they have been split out into a separate project.
docs/README.{altbootmethods,bootparams}:
Remove mkinitcpio-archiso specific documentation.
docs/README.profile.rst:
Add documentation for the optional `buildmodes` array in profiledef.sh, the understood build modes `bootstrap` and
`iso` and the implicit default build mode 'iso'.
Add basic documentation for the bootstrap_packages.arch file.
Add missing backticks.
Fix indent.
configs/releng/build.sh:
Instead of downloading UDK2018 based edk2 UEFI shell, use the Shell
binaries from the edk2-shell package.
This effectively makes the use of EFI shell v1 obsolete.
configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/uefi-shell-v*:
Renaming UEFI shell entries to match the packaged edk2-shell based UEFI
shell binaries.
configs/releng/build.sh:
Renaming the systemd-boot bootloader entries for UEFI shell (normal and
full version) to reflect their file names, which are derived from the
binary names in the edk2-shell package.
Copying the edk2-shell based UEFI shell binaries for normal efiboot and
.iso based "el-torito" efiboot mode.
docs/README.build:
Adding edk2-shell to the requirements in the documentation, as the
package is now used to provide UEFI shell.
Having files on btrfs subvolumes requires to give mount options. Add
boot params archisoflags= and cow_flags= for this purpose. Boot
parameters could look like this:
... archisodevice=/dev/sdaX archisoflags=subvolume=isos
cow_device=/dev/sdaX cow_flags=subvolume=persist ...

Currently, when booting loopmounted iso file, it is necessary to
specify not only img_dev and img_loop (which should be sufficient),
but also archisolabel or archisodevice. With this patch, archisodevice
is directly populated with the correct loop device, and it is not
necessary to specify the label when booting from loopmounted iso,
which makes for leaner and cleaner grub.cfg.
Among other things, 36459f3 ([archiso] Drop aitab support, 2014-06-28)
removed the possibility to manually set a specific architecture by using
kernel parameters. This, however, is useful, e.g. when installing Arch
Linux on a device that reports itself as i586 but works fine with the
i686 flavor.

Add a note that COW is not supported since ntfs.ko module is used inside initramfs.
(there is no ntfs-3g inside)
