I tried to apply information from both links you've provided, which, combined with my all-or-nothing approach, resulted in a system broken beyond repair.
However, here I am, sporting a fresh install, now natively mounting ESP to /efi. For now I don't feel like dual-booting.
Thank you.

Alternatively, just use a different kernel on each installation, .e.g. linux on one, linux-lts on the other.
]]>Boot mode is EFI, partition scheme as follows:
sda1 - EFI partition (on which conflicting vmlinuz-linux resides)
sda2 - SWAP
sda3 - root of already installed Arch
sda4 - /home
sda5 - root of Arch I'm trying to install
I've mounted sda1 to /mnt/boot and sda5 to /mnt, tried to pacstrap the new system, however pacman wont install it as it encounters conflicting vmlinuz.
I don't feel like removing the existing installation, that's the reason I'm attempting dual boot.
What do? Is there a way around? Perhpas two EFI partitions (not ideal) or renaming the existing vmlinuz (I believe this would render GRUB unable to find the kernel)?
Or can I somehow force the pacstrapping?
Thank you, fellers.
