Problems with Archiso

Hi guys,

I've got problems  with creating my own live-cd with archiso. I hope you are able to solve them.

Here is the log describing my two ERRORs i get when i want to build it.

init: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory
ERROR: Root file system type detection failed.

And here is my full log:

mkarchiso -D myarch -p base create work
mkarchiso : Configuration Settings
        working directory:   work
               image name:   none

Cleaning up what we can

You can see, that even with the errors it builds the iso, but when i try to boot it, i get an error, that no default or ui is available. This may be caused by the errors while building...
