Sorry, I noticed that my post is irrelevant, I only skimmed your e-mail. If the ISO or USB installer only include the 32-bit kernel, then you cannot by definition boot into 64-bit mode (since there's no 64-bit kernel to load).
Also, why would you want to boot the installer in 64-bit mode? The functionality of either kernel is identical. It's the performance that differs in 32/64-bit and that isn't really a concern for the *installer* image.
