Use the 32-bit version of grubfix32.sh, even on the 64-bit install.
Use /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda3 when fixing grub.

FYI Adrian’s ISO works perfectly for me on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems.

There are (far too) many alternate ways of installing debian floating around, but I think the only method we should suggest is the one sanctioned here, as all the others lead to mayhem, IMHO.

I can report that the 32-bit powerpc netinst presents me with a GRUB
menu and then "default install" leads to total failure. I took a picture
as there was no other option while staring at a big white console with
strange messages about invalid memory access.

The 64bit netinst seems to work fine until we get to the GRUB install
stage and perhaps the previous syslog and partman files I submitted
will shed some light. Otherwise a very stable machine that usually
just runs fine is now quite dead until further notice.
