If you simply want to copy your old system onto the new machine, why do you need the netinstall images? It might lack some proper hardware detection and is meant for other uses (though it can usually also work as you intend it to do). I’d suggest using either some of the many live CDs with good hardware detection or the i386 netinstall which appears to work fine to you. It should be able to chroot into your system just as well (assuming it’s an i386 system). If you, for some reason, decide to stick with the amd64 netinstall CD, I suggest you try the various boot parameters to disable specific options/enable hardware quirks.
