 You cannot do what you want to do, is the short answer.

 The problem is that you cannot run a 64-bit binary upon a 32-bit
 system, and thats what you're seeing.  Part way through the
 debootstrap the system tries to run "chroot /.... mount" which
 fails.

 (The other way round is fine, on a 64-bit system you can create
 a 32-bit chroot.)

thanks, i didn't realize that since i had done the other way around, i just thought this would work 

 

 If your processor happens to be a 64-bit one then you can fix this
 by installing a 64-bit kernel - keeping your system 32-bit but having
 the kernel be capable of running both systems..
