We're working on the installation tools now.  There's nothing publicly 
available yet.  There will be an announcement here when installing Debian
on an IA-64 box becomes less challenging.

Once you're installed it's working quite well, with about 60% of the packages
available from Debian mirrors.  We intend for IA-64 to be part of the stable
woody Debian release.
