So, what do you propose then?

The only thing that you need to do if you extract files from iso to make it working on another context is setting a label on filesystem.

which flag is he talking about? and #define "had problems" ?

He talks about archisolabel=ARCH_201005 at syslinux/kernel command line. He has problems when extracting files from .iso and moving to another medium when missing to setup a LABEL on FS. (Unetbooting program).

The current way is awesome using by-label, other distros do a scan/mount all block devices to find some "mark" then mount without depending on label.

btw: there is an archisodevice= to override archisolabel=, this only works if you know exactly the device name.
