Hmm.. Aren't you given a kernel choice during the initial d-i run ?
Anyway,
When you boot the d-i base kernel, you will probably be running in 31
bit mode (which is a safe thing to do, since all post-IBM M/T 3090
systems can run 31 bit ESA)..
At this point, it is almost impossible for the install procedure to know
whether the system you are running on is or is not 64 bit capable..
(Machine Type doesn't count.. Since you can always pretend to be running
on something else)..
And even if the kernel issued the STFL (Store Facility List) or asked
about the hardware via a Service Call and then provided the information
to userland, it still wouldn't be reliable since some support platforms
can be switched afterwards (like you just did !)
