When attempting to boot the 201310 ISO, I run into the following error:

:: Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH201310' to '/run/archiso/bootmnt'
Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201310 ...
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201310' device did not show up after 30 seconds ...
Falling back to interactive prompt

Which dumps me to a recovery prompt. After some searching, I found this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17231#comment53678 which describes perfectly what is happening. The solution mentioned in that comment seems to resolve the issue - at least the initial issue. I'm feeling a bit hesitant about proceeding with the install if other things are possibly broken.

Apparently this was something wonky with my hardware. It happened a half dozen times so I assumed it to be a persistent issue however after reseating all the cables in the workstation, things worked fine
