This fails on a test laptop as they removed the i686 architecture folder and it's 64bit only these days.

see
2017-01: https://www.archlinux.org/news/phasing-out-i686-support
and
2017-11: https://www.archlinux.org/news/the-end-of-i686-support

Yet, over @ https://mirror.archlinux32.org/archisos they have 32bit and 'Dualboot' ISOs. Not sure if they boot using memdisk.

Yeah, if they aren't there anymore, we can probably remove that line.
