/etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26-fallback.conf

I followed this guide to system encryption, but I get confused about the step called Install Kernel. It says:

Select the kernel and follow the instructions presented to you by the installer. When asked to check over the /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26-fallback.conf file make sure the HOOKS line looks the same as mentioned above.

I was never asked to check over kernel26-fallback.conf and further more it doesn't even exist. Is this guide outdated?

Should I copy /etc/mkinicpio.conf to /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26-fallback.conf and run mkinitcpio with some arguments to create /boot/kernel26-fallback.img?

It should be /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Just change the hools so it has (after udev) encrypt.
