using usb iso, set bios to allow and prioritize usb boot, secure boot off;
1. select "Boot Menu" from Novo Button Menu that pops up.
2. select "USB HDD : SanDisk Cruzer" from Boot Options Menu (same things happen with USB ODD)
3. tab while "Boot Arch Linux (x8x_64)" is highlighted and append " acpi=off" to displayed boot cmd line {without this get continually repeating errors)
4. press enter and shortly arrive at shell prompt for root, but no key presses do anything
What can I do, or what am I doing wrong?

sort of solved by omitting acpi=off, when one can blindly type commands into the firehose stream of error reports displayed. If one also adds modprobe.blacklist=ideapad_laptop to the kernel boot line, then it is possible to establish a wireless internet connection, but I have not gotten farther, as it is excruciating. By the way, when I did manage to get the wireless connection, it was by using the newer release iso, of 3 July, 2014.
This dilemma of either hanging completely or enduring entirely ecessive error messages was not mentioned in the reiviews I read of arch on the Yoga 2 Pro. I believe they were reporting on versions of the install iso from around December 2013, so this problem may have been introduced since then.
