i currently have an iso image with amd64, arm, and 386 binaries.  it's
not tested because i am waiting on a sata cd drive.  however, it's not
clear to me that the binaries are anything but dead weight in the cd
because if you can run amd64, you should be able to install as a 386
machine and compile /sys/src yourself.  if you've got an arm, then
i am not sure how it makes sense to boot from an iso image.  how
does that work.  in any event, you can install on a 386 and move onto
arm from there.  it's probablly not ideal, but it should work.

i'm wondering if the install media should contain nothing but the
source, a bootstrap loader, a kernel and just enough binaries to
be able to compile all the source for whatever arches you're interested
in.
