I have an Arch Linux instance in ~/VirtualBoxVMs/Arch/Arch.vdi

Following the instructions in the readme...
* (def vbsrv (server "http://localhost:18083"))
* ```(setup-model "~/VirtualBoxVMs/Arch/Arch.vdi" vbsrv)``` gives an error that Arch.meta could not be found
* ```(def arch (instance vbsrv "Arch" :linux :micro))``` does not work - have not been able to determine what the 3rd arg to instance should be such that this would work - "Arch" is the name of the instance available in VB OSE Manager

Improvements to the docs needed to fill in this kind of starting point where I have a vdi file that I'd like to use and that vdi is not Ubuntu (in this case Arch Linux)

Thank you - looking forward to being able to use vmfest
