I doubt install-image supports all arm's ones.
I guess several of them use src/distrib/embedded.

- "build.sh install-image" uses "install_image" targets in
  src/distrib/${MACHINE}/Makefile, currently prepared for
  amd64, evbarm (looks like only for UEFI based ones?), i386

- for several arm boards such as Raspberry Pi etc, the image binaries
  are built during "make release" in src/etc by scripts and Makefile
  in src/distrib/embedded and they are invoked from
  src/etc/etc.evbarm/Makefile.inc via targets like "snap_md_post" and
  "smp_rpi" etc.
 - src/distrib/utils/embedded/mkimage calls makefs(8), fdisk(8),
   disklabel(8), and other tools to create board specific images
   persrc/distrib/utils/embedded/conf/${h}.conf settings
