You can download a live-cd for amd64 and skip some steps, in the official how-to is suggested debian-from-scratch iso, but it shows a old kernel (2.6.6) that does not support very well some SATA controllers. I suggest to boot from Kubuntu live amd64 to do the same. But I prefer to just use the debian-installer 64bit version, works like a charm with my amd64 apt-proxy :-) -- Marco Amadori :wq
