*** Boot parameters (initramfs stage)

** hooks/archiso

* archisolabel=     Set the filesystem label where archiso files reside.
                    Default: (unset)
* archisodevice=    Set the device node where archiso medium is located.
                    Default: "/dev/disk/by-label/${archisolabel}"
* archisobasedir=   Set the base directory where all files reside.
                    Default: "arch"
* copytoram=        If set to "y" or just "copytoram" without arguments,
                    all SquashFS are copied to "RAM".
                    Default: (unset)
* checksum=         If set to "y" or just "checksum" without arguments,
                    performs a self-test of all files inside ${install_dir},
                    and continue booting if ok.
                    Default: (unset)
* cow_label=        Set the filesystem label where COW file (for dm-snapshot)
                    or upperdir/workdir files (for overlayfs) must be stored.
                    Default: (unset)
* cow_device=       Like cow_label= but using device node.
                    Default: (unset) or "/dev/disk/by-label/${cow_label}"
* cow_directory=    Set a directory inside ${cow_device}.
                    Default: "/persistent_${archisolabel}/${arch}"
* cow_persistent=   Set if snapshot is persistent "P" or non-persistent "N".
                    Only used for dm-snapshot mode, ignored for overlayfs.
                    Default: "N" (if no ${cow_device} is used) otherwise "P".
* cow_spacesize=    Set the size for COW space (tmpfs). Valid for both
                    dm-snapshot and overlayfs mode.
                    The argument is an integer and optional unit.
                    Units are M,G (powers of 1024).
                    Default: "256M"
* cow_chunksize=    Set chunksize used for dm-snapshot. This is number
                    of 512 byte blocks to write at once.
		    Default: "8"
* copytoram_size=   Set the size of tmpfs. This space is used for
                    airootfs.sfs image if copytoram=y.
                    Size is in bytes (suffix with "k", "m" and "g") or
                    in percentage of available RAM.
                    Default: "75%"
* dm_snap_prefix=   Set a prefix for dm-snapshot node names.
                    Only used for dm-snapshot mode, ignored for overlayfs.
                    Default: "arch"
* arch=             Force an architecture type (i686 | x86_64).
                    Do not set it for normal operations.
                    Default: (architecture of running kernel)


** hooks/archiso_pxe_common

* ip=               This parameter is setup automatically by PXELINUX
                    when option "SYSAPPEND" is set to 1 or 2 in config.
                    ip=<client-ip>:<boot-server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>
                    Default: (set via PXE server)
* BOOTIF=           This parameter is setup automatically by PXELINUX
                    when option "SYSAPPEND" is set to 2 or 3 in config.
                    BOOTIF=<hardware-address-of-boot-interface>
                    Default: (set via PXELINUX)
* copy_resolvconf=  Copy /etc/resolv.conf from initramfs to live-enviroment.
                    Set to "n" to skip them.
                    Default: "y"


** hooks/archiso_pxe_nbd

                    Default: archiso
* archiso_nbd_srv=  Set an IP address where NBD reside.
                    If ${pxeserver} is used, PXE IP will be used.
                    Default: (unset)


** hooks/archiso_pxe_http

* archiso_http_srv= Set an HTTP URL (must end with /) where ${archisobasedir}
                    is found with all *.sfs files.
                    In the IP/domain part if ${pxeserver} is used, use PXE IP.
                    Default: (unset)
* archiso_http_spc= Set the size of tmpfs where *.sfs files are downloaded.
                    Default: "75%"
