Interesting! Would you like to share it somewhere (or at least the build instrunctions?
It would be faster than a ubuntu live, which needs to start Gnome, while I often only need gdisk, dd, efibootmgr and zfs!

It's pretty basic, really. Follow the Arch Wiki guide to build an ISO and add the packages from the archzfs repo. One unrelated tip is to also bake your ssh pubkey in the ISO, it comes in handy.

I hate having to deal with bootloaders with a passion. But it could come in handy if my efi can't boot directly from the iso. It does have the option to browse local drives and boot random files, but I've never tried an iso.
Although my rescue iso is custom-made with archlive so that it supports zfs. I could probably just write it to some extra partition and boot it directly.
