Actually, I *thought* I added a flag to point to an alternate pacman config when building the chroot, to simplify this. So it'd be as simple as: sed s/x86_64/i686/ < /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-i686 sed s/mirrorlist/mirrorlist-i686/ < /etc/pacman.conf > /etc/pacman-i686.conf mkarchroot -C /etc/pacman-i686.conf ...yada yada...
