use qemu-user-static to interpret the arm instructions in the chroot:
pacman -Sy qemu-user-static --noconfirm
install multipath-tools:
pacman -S multipath-tools
script to mount and umount raspberrypi image:
cat > ./raspimg << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "" && \
echo " mount: mount image" && \
echo " umount: unmount image" && \
echo "" && \
echo " example: ./raspimg mount 2024-02-20-archlinux-aarch64.img"
echo ""; exit

copy the qemu-aarch64-static binary to the chroot:
cp /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static /mnt/temp/usr/bin/
register the qemu-aarch64-static as an arm interpreter in the kernel:
echo ':aarch64:M::\x7fELF\x02\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\xb7:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff:/usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
enter chroot using arch-chroot:
chroot /mnt/temp
