On an Intel NUC, I can use Ventoy in BIOS mode to boot the Arch Linux installation ISO.
If, on the same Intel NUC, I use Ventoy and EFI mode, the boot will fail.
The failure messages is:
Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_202010 ...
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_202010' device did not show up after 30 seconds.
I then get an emergency shell, and I can see the following devices in /dev/disk/by-label: Recovery and VTOYEFI
Recovery is probably Windows 10 on another disk.
If, instead, I boot via BIOS, the following disks exist in /dev/disk/by-label:
ARCH_202010, Recovery, and VTOYEFI. ARCH_202010 is a symlink to /dev/dm-0.
Attached are screenshots of (1) the EFI error message, and (2) ls -l /dev/disk/by-label after a successful BIOS boot.
