Thanks, that was the right answer. Once I downloaded the netinst for amd64 and put on a USB memory stick everything worked beautifully - got a graphical expert interface, got the LVM running, Grub installation recognized the partition of that other OS, and I even got X11 running out of the box without having to do anything, although I suspect I can tweak it to squeeze out more out of this graphics card. All this without having to do *anything* beyond running the debian installer.
