That's normal for MacOS. Because 'arch - print machine hardware name (same as uname -m)' prints the architecture the machine is running on, which is in your case a 32bit kernel and thus i386. If you'd run the 64bit-kernel you would have something like x86_64 as result. That's the disadvantage(?) of being able to run 64bit applications with a 32bit kernel ;)
