Bug Description

If I remove i386/generic from ARCHES in /etc/maas/import_pxe_files, booting will fail:

provisioningserver.kernel_opts.EphemeralImagesDirectoryNotFound: The directory containing the ephemeral images/info is missing (u'/var/lib/maas/ephemeral/precise/ephemeral/i386'). Make sure to run the script 'maas-import-pxe-files'.

I think this is because i386 is used where we don't know the machine's architecture beforehand.

MAAS should either override my ARCHES selection, warn me about it, or boot with an architecture for which ephemeral images are available.
