But shouldn’t that be stored on the drive I’m installing the OS on? I figured it would be cleared when formatting

As far as I understand, when you use this command, it also writes to memory on the motherboard itself. So even formatting won’t do anything. The boot option will not work, but it will still be there.

Btw just out of curiosity where did you find mention of initrd options in arch installation guide, I just took a quick look and didn’t see it there.

Oh, right, didn’t see that. But assuming you are using GRUB, which I believe is recommended, you don’t need to worry about this part. GRUB automatically applies microcode updates.
