I want to install arch from under Windows, all that is there is a 128MB efi partition, I want to put some small distro there.
I tried tinycore and minimal linux but it did not work, apparently they have a kernel built without efistub support.
All you need from a distro is fdisk or any equivalent + ext2/btrfs/ext4 kernel support

As a result, from here archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/installe... copied linux and initrd.gz to the efi section and added a new item to uefi specifying the /linux path to the efi program and initrd=/initrd parameters. gz

Try network boot. https://releng.archlinux.org/pxeboot/
UPD: efistub is only available in 64 bit kernel.
