The lazy way: Fetch Debian's "multi arch" CD, which contains 3 architectures: amd64, i386 and powerpc: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/5.0.2/multi-arch/iso-cd/ The CD's bootloader stuffs are configured to select the best architecture supported by your hardware (you can still manually force i386 in the advanced menu).
