It depends.  Are you running Stable (Etch) i386 with a 64-bit kernel or
Stable (Etch) amd64 with a 64-bit kernel?

What are your reasons for needing to switch to a 32-bit kernel?

If you are running Etch i386 with a 64-bit kernel, just use aptitude and
install the 32-bit kernel, then reboot and choose the 32-bit kernel from
the menu list.
