If you need to fix your Arch system with a 0.7 CD, you'll need to use the devfs names for your block devices. It will still work though -- just make sure you have all udev style (eg, /dev/hdaX) names on your installed system, so when it boots up w/o devfs, it won't get confused.

The 0.7.1 iso release will work w/o devfs.
