Arch Linux seems to have removed the archiso.img file in favor of initramfs-linux.img

To Reproduce
attempt to install Arch Linux from any of the menus (also broken on dev branch)

Expected behavior
When attempting to install, it successfully loads vmlinux-linux but returns an error:
https://mirror-/archlinux/iso/2020.10.01/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img... No such file or directory and then "Could not boot..."

Additional context
This seems to be from the newest 2020.10.01 release, as both 2020.09.01 and 2020.08.01 both still have the archiso.img file.
