They will if you do it right. Look at lilo, grub or that other
bootloader amd64 has.
Basicaly you just have to use "gcc -m32" for the C/asm code you
compile with gcc. nasm should always make 32bit code I think.
You will need any libs you use (apart from libc6, zlib and a few more
X libs that ia32-libs has already) as 32bit version though, if any. It
probably will need some work to get it to build but it would be worth
it. Ask on debian-amd64 for someone to help porting if you are willing
to support this in the future.
