archiso with custom architecture stuck in rootfs

Hi, I am trying to build an ISO with a custom architecture (a non existing one), just to have some fun, lol. So far, I can complete the ISO. However, when I boot it, it is stuck in rootfs.

It says:

overlayfs: failed to resolve '/run/archiso/airootfs': -2
mount: /new_root: special device airootfs does not exist.
...
ERROR: Failed to mount the real root device.

My airootfs.sfs is correctly in /run/archiso/bootmnt/arch/MYARCHITECTURE/, with its .sha512 signature.

To my best understanding, I need to act on mkinitcpio hooks, but I have no idea what I should do.

Could somebody explain the boot process taking place in a livecd? What is mounting the airootfs? Init scripts?
