So, I ran the command as *grub-install /dev/sda*... it installed *i386-pc*


grub-install correctly detected the VirtualBox emulated hardware environment as 'i386-pc'

so skipped the steps of comparing the difference between grub.cfg files and
continued further steps.


what is the output of the following command

find /boot -iname "grub.cfg"



My doubt is do I run into any problems in the future as I installed i386
instead of x86_64-pc and why is x86_64-pc not available in ArchLinux ISO.


your VirtualBox environment was recognized as 'i386-pc' and that's what grub used.

OTOH, what is the full name of the Arch Linux ISO that you downloaded ?


warm regards
