Hi Gregor,
I'm the guy who's done the work for the mixed-EFI case here. How did
you get the amd64 installer DVD to boot on your 32-bit UEFI system in
the first place? That's an important (and harder) part of this. It's
the reason why I explicitly only added support for mixed-EFI to our
multi-arch i386/amd64 CDs and DVDs in the first place...
