To save some time on my maas rebuild, I opted to omit i386/generic from from ARCHES /etc/maas/import_pxe_files.
All was well until I tried to pxeboot my amd64 VMS, I got complaints from PXE rom that pxelinux.cfg/default was missing.
A quick look at pserv.log showed this. It looks like it's expecting i386, even though it doesn't need it, and bails, failing to
create the defaults file for my amd64 node.
