Thanks again for you help Michael.
I have changed 10-base-classes as you sugested. I now have a fully
working etch nfsroot that can install sarge or etch, x86_64 and ia32.

Why don't you just keep class/hostname as it is and rather do the following
10-base-classes script:
case $HOSTNAME in
bla) echo IA32 ;;
blubb) echo IA32 ;;
*)
if egrep -q '^flags:.* lm$|flags:.* lm ' /proc/cpuinfo
then
echo AMD64
fi
;;
esac
[...]
Also I'm not sure how FAI will react to having the IA32/AMD64 classes not
after DEFAULT, but somewhere in the middle.
The above should avoid any such trouble, but anyway: FAI will do what you
configured it to do, so this may cause some problems or not. If you have IA32
specific scripts or files, and at the same time some, say, GRUB-class-specific
ones, it will interfer, otherwise it won't. (Most probably it won't, but that's
just a wild guess)
HTH,
Michael
