(see bug #998)
The etc/rc file in the 0.6 ISO initrd.img attempts to load all addons with the command "loaddisk /dev/cdroms/cdrom0", which obviously fails if the Arch-CD is in a different CD-ROM drive.

Potshot at a fix:
Create an array of all found cdroms (as done in the 'setup' script), try to loaddisk from each until loaddisk is either reporting success ($?==0) or no CD-ROM devices are left to try, in which case an error should be echoed to inform the user of the futile loading attempt.
This task depends upon
