Only 64 bit!?

I have a pretty solid working Snow Leopard on my system. The only problem is I cannot get my wireless to work because (I think) it is booting in 64 bit mode. I have tried putting -x32 in the boot string.

 

My system is

Chameleon 2 RC3

Tyan dual Xeon

Nvidia 8600 GT (working with EFI string)

The -x32 goes in com.apple.Boot.plist.

On the command line, use arch=i386

I have tried booting with -arch=i386 -v -x32 and the only obvious effect was the verbose boot. When I checked uname -a it still said 64bit kernel. (also checked via system profiler). I tried adding -x32 using the EFI tool and adding it as a boot flag. Is that what you mean?
