amd64 kernel, but 32bits packages installed?

[Leen Smit]

And how does make-nfsroot determine wether to install 64 bit nfsroot??
I've been following these guides :
http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_Cross-architecture
http://www.osburg.org/Ubuntu-fai
http://woonuk.springnote.com/pages/1447230.xhtml

all to no avail, Im still getting a 32bits nfsroot.

How does fai go trough the /etc/fai-amd64/nfsroot  file? It seems it 
just reads the first bit, the I386 part..


my current config looks the following. I try to create a nfsroot with 
"export APT_CONFIG=/etc/fai-amd64/apt_arch.conf; fai-setup -C 
/etc/fai-amd64 -v"

-- /etc/fai-amd64/apt_amd64.conf:
APT {
      Architecture "amd64";
    }

-- /etc/fai-amd64/make-fai-nfsroot.conf :
NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot-amd64
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="lenny http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian --arch amd64"
TFTPROOT=/srv/tftp/fai
FAI_ROOTPW='$1$BaZ/tg2M$x9byuA77AzsQZ./PZODSq0'
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=dhcp-client,info
  

== /etc/fai-amd64/NFSROOT
