Hi,
on my two ibook G4 the cd is booting
but the ramdisk can't find and mount the cd itself
and I get stuck at the ramdisk command line

This is a known issue which we haven't had time to figure out yet. The problem is the kernel not exposing a device in /dev/disk/by-label in time.

This is the simple work around once you dropped into the emergency shell:

$ mount /dev/cdrom /var/run/archiso/bootmnt
$ ^+D
$ ^+D

Yes, that's logging out/exiting twice. After mounting /dev/cdrom the label will appear and the process fix itself.

Hopefully will be able to spend time on this soon but otherwise, patches are welcome.

Interesting observation! I think this is a pretty good lead into how the problem can be solved. Thanks!

I recently aquired a Dual Core G5 2.0ghz and it had no issues finding the boot volume. I'm trying to find the differences between 32bit platforms and here.
