Installing grub - help!

While installing Arch 32, I came across a problem o my tutorial video I was watching.
The dude says to install grub:

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub-uefi --recheck

But since this is 32 bit, should that be changed?

I'm not sure, if you can install grub with efi on archlinux32 (bootloaders are not my speciality), I would install it in the MBR like so

Yes, x86 32-bit BIOSes don't tend to support EFI.  I've even got a 64-bit box I'm running which only supports MBR.
