Actually a neat idea. Copy mkinitcpio.conf to mkinitcpio-pacman.conf, add this in mkinitcpio-pacman.conf: BINARIES="pacman" FILES="/etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist" Then, edit /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: Add: pacman_config="/etc/mkinitcpio-pacman.conf" pacman_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-pacman.img" and add 'pacman' to the PRESETS line.
