~~you can use qemu/kvm to boot the test media.~~ *(You'd actually need to do some EFI magic in order to point the EFI vars to the partition 0 in the test medium so this won't work entirely out of the box, but gives you a general idea of what we're going for here)*
You can also run a pre-built ISO with pip and python
# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cdrom /home/user/Downloads/archinstall-2020.07.08-x86_64.iso -machine q35,accel=kvm -device intel-iommu -cpu host -m 4096 -boot order=d -drive file=./testimage.img,format=raw -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_CODE.fd -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_VARS.fd
and once inside, just do
# python -m archlinux guided
