I have several pages of braille notes on installing arch and no that's not the only proper installation documentation either. There's a beginner's installation guide which is far more detailed and that served as some of the source for the notes I made. As a result I've had a very good command line install running for several past kernel versions and the screen reader was running before this last update.
