However, to boot the installer in expert mode for amd64, you have to type "expert-amd64". Processor autodetection between i386 and amd64 is only supported by the multi-arch CD if you simply press Enter to boot. Once you start entering boot parameters, you bypass that autodetection. This is explained in the syslinux help screens. -- see shy jo
