AFAIK, all DVD/CD burning SW has an option to use temporary directory of user's choosing.

UPDATE: SOLVED THE BSDPCIO ERROR.

Is "bsdcpio fails to set local" the exact error message? netsearching for it gets no matches.
Yes, when I am installing the packages, I get:
Code:
Bsdcpio fails to set local
Or maybe its
Code:
Bsdcpio: failed to set default locale
I can get the exact message in a little when I try again. I went to bed at 5am and its only 10ish so I'm a bit groggy. 5 hours of sleep isn't much.

Everything after, installs fine though. Its when I reboot that I get more error. Says its searching for the device in the /dev dir by uid it says it will take 10 seconds. Then when it can't find the file it give another error and throws me into a root recovery shell with limited commands. Give me an hour or so and I will have all the errors on this thread. Thanks

@TobiSGD, I have an 80GiG, 40GiG, and a 250GiG with Windows 7 for a just incase. For instance the new iPod touch I bought wont work with GTK on Ubuntu. So I use windows to load music on it... for now. A friends computer crashed and I used my HDD to ghost my image to his drive. So, I do not touch the 250. Windows does occasionally come in handy, surprisingly.

Anywho, the 80GiG has Ubuntu on it. The 40 is blank. Should I install Ubuntu on the 40 and use the 80 for the arch install?

Sorry crabboy, it turned into an installation question. Didn't plan on it but sorry once again.

Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed. [BUSY]
SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xb80430 already in use
Bad LUN (0:1)
Bad target number (1:0) this reappears 6 more times.

I have encountered a ton of problems. This installation is a huge pain! I installed and fixed one issue with the adapter collision and the bsdcpio error i was receiving but am left with having to manually mount my hard drive from a live CD. I can see the partitions when I use blkid or ls /dev | grep "^sd" and mount.

I would like my computer to recognize my hdd on boot without having to manually mount from a live CD!
I have been at this for hours and am starting to become fed up!

Booted off the CD and hit tab to edit the kernel boot params. Appended pci=nocrs, that's only temporary. You need to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make it permanent. That got rid of the address space collision. I wouldn't even consider that permanent since there is still an ilunderlying problem present.

I mounted the hdd with
Code:
mkdir /mnt/arch
blkid to find the hdd partition addresses. 
mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/arch //to my understanding, partition 3 is usually the root partition.
Then I edited the fstab file
Code:
nano /mnt/arch/etc/fstab
I then realized I was trying to mount a partition that didn't exist. I was trying to mount sdb when I should have been mounting sda instead. I changed it over and it solved the issue.

I also had to add use to the conference files and made sure it was in the hooks.

I THINK IT HAPPENED BECAUSE I HAD 2 USB DEVICES PLUGGED IN DURING ALL OF THIS.

One was the external hard drive and the other, a drive. Or something like that. Who knows
