Under what conditions would you need to boot the 32-bit chroot natively? I have never needed to, so my chroot is uner /srv/chroot/etch-ia32. I put /srv on its own LV (I use LVM over raid1). I used debootstrap to install the chroot following (loosly) the instructions in the amd64 howto from the debian website. I access the chroot with $ schroot -pc etch-ia32 which means that I have the schroot package installed on the amd64 system. Once debootstrap gives you a basic system, you schroot into it, run aptitude, and setup what you want. Treat it like its own machine.
