The last version of Arch Linux that supports 32-bit is
[2017.02.01](https://www.archlinux.org/releng/releases/2017.02.01/). Later
versions don't work on v86.
Installation using QEMU
-----------------------
```
# create a 10 gigabyte disk image
qemu-img create arch.img 10G
# Follow the normal installation process
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -drive file=arch.img,format=raw -cdrom archlinux-2017.02.01-dual.iso
```
For keyboard support it is necessary to open /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and edit the following line:
```
MODULES="atkbd i8042"
```
The resulting `arch.img` is a bootable disk image for v86.
