apparently no. I'm sorry, I did not know that it was a bootmenu choice,
I presumed some d-i magic would detect my architecture. unetbootin
modifies the boot menu and I seem to have fallen for this in spite of
being a longstanding debian user and a memory of having read about this
fact somwere in the wiki or installer faq before. ;)

Thank you for the quick reply. I resolved the situation for me today by
using the 180-MB amd64-iso. This bug is bogus.

Kind regards

Sebastian
