If this is one of the strange machines with 32 bit UEFI firmware and a 64 bit
processor - Intel Bay Trail laptop, for example - then the standard installers
have problems - as outlined - and you'd need to find the multi-arch DVD to
install from.
If you use the multi-arch netinst to isntall a minimal Debian, you can always then use 64 bit DVDs to add packages with apt-cdrom.
Hope this helps, all the very best,
