I had this same problem before. The documentation is wrong. you need the boot_i386 package installed on the client for si_prepareclient to operate. Use aptitude to select the package and then make sure systemimager-server doesn't go in.
Be forwarned you might run into alot of bugs using 3.6.3. I did and it took about 4 days of work to get a usable imaging workflow. If you have anymore issues just post to the list and I'll see if I can answer them.
