Hi. I needed to create a bootable AMD64 CD yesterday and to get there, I installed a fairly minimal debian-pure64 (sarge) installation and created AMD64 packages for syslinux and bootcd (along with bootcd-amd64). While fixing bootcd to build and work on AMD64 was pretty trivial, building

installing on XFS: bootloader problem
