The command is executed on the server. I thought that it would be in the install log file, but I may be wrong on that. You should be able to figure out the appropriate command flags from the OSCAR image screen to translate into the mksiimage command. Check the man page for mksiimage to help. If that's not enough, you can start an image build from OSCAR and go grab the command from the process table (ps -aefw | grep mksiimage). Just add the --arch flag with the correct architecture.
This will not make an OSCAR image though, it will just be a standard Linux image, but once you verify that it is the problem, we can look at how to get the OSCAR customization done.
