I'm trying to boot Arch Linux from a USB drive, but I cannot open pacman or whatever. I've downloaded the Arch Linux .ISO file and put it on a USB using Rufus, but it fails to load properly. I am still new to this Linux distro. 

Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/arch_201509
Error :'/dev/disk/by-label/arch_201509' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when finished
sh: can't access tty ; job control turned off

I guess the question is "Why doesn't the Arch Linux installation commence"? Then the likely answer is that the boot disk is labelled something other than "arch_201509". You can verify that by running ls /dev/disk/by-label/arch_201509. The solution is to change the disk label to the required one.
