That only gives the arch of the latest installed kernel.

That may be what Michael wanted, but is there a way to find out what 
arch the currently running kernel was built for?

What about an arbitrary kernel in /boot, can you determine what arch 
it's for?

I could have a custom kernel in /boot, but not remember if it was i386, 
i686, or athlon.
How can I tell?
