NVIDIA Fallback on ISO is failing

I tried to install using antergos-17.4-x86_64.iso. The video card in the system is an Nvidia GTX 1060.

When trying to boot with the NVIDIA Fallback option thinking it would help with a missing cursor issue, I get the boot error below.

Error loading \EFI\archiso\vmlinuz: Not Found
Failed to execute Antergos.x86_64 (NVIDIA Fallback) (\EFI\archiso\vmlinuz): Not Found

I can also confirm this, on 17.6, using uefi. To work around this, I edited the arguments of the primary antergos option (hit e) and removed "quiet splash" and added "nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0" and then hit enter.

I'm unable to boot using antergos-usb-default but it boots ok with antergos-cd and I'm booting from an USB, of course. I don't know if it's related or not (all this in UEFI mode).

The paths and file names in both files are different.

antergos-cd.conf

title   Antergos Live System (cd/dvd)
linux   /EFI/archiso/vmlinuz.efi
initrd  /EFI/archiso/intel_ucode.img
initrd  /EFI/archiso/archiso.img
options archisobasedir=%INSTALL_DIR% archisolabel=%ARCHISO_LABEL% modules-load=loop rd.modules-load=loop udev.log-priority=crit rd.udev.log-priority=crit quiet splash

antergos-usb-default.conf

title   Antergos Live System (usb)
linux   /%INSTALL_DIR%/boot/vmlinuz

options archisobasedir=%INSTALL_DIR% archisolabel=%ARCHISO_LABEL% modules-load=loop rd.modules-load=loop udev.log-priority=crit rd.udev.log-priority=crit quiet splash

I'll leave the nvidia-fallback.conf file here, too:

linux   /%INSTALL_DIR%/boot/vmlinuz
initrd  /%INSTALL_DIR%/boot/intel_ucode.img
initrd  /%INSTALL_DIR%/boot/archiso.img
options archisobasedir=%INSTALL_DIR% archisolabel=%ARCHISO_LABEL% modules-load=loop rd.modules-load=loop udev.log-priority=crit rd.udev.log-priority=crit nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0 nouveau.blacklist=yes modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia

Using ISO 18.1 and encountering the same error:

Video card in the system is NVIDIA GTX 1060.
