Maybe you have sata devices. You can have a punch of solutions to many
problems that appear during debian amd64 installation in the list
archive.

I belive there's nothing like a switch or command to do this. Debian
AMD64 is a port based in a 64 bit kernel that supports either 32 and
64bit executables. Up till now all* the binary packages in debian
AMD64 are 64bit so you will be what you call 64bit mode. But with the
correct configuration and libs you can also run 32bit apps.
* I think there's a package with the 32bit version of Openoffice and
another package with 32bit librarys to easy the usage of 32 bit apps.
