Problem Detail: I was just thinking about this: Does the BIOS execute on the CPU? If so, how does it handle multiple CPU architectures/instruction sets? If not, what does it execute on?

Yes, the processor itself runs the BIOS boot program. Each motherboard has to be equipped with appropriate BIOS that a processor of compatible chip set can use. See this page for an explanation of the boot process and the roles of BIOS.
