Paolo,

As you can see, in install-on-usb script boot sector is installed by syslinux 
executable from temporarily mounted installed image. But if bitness of 
installed image is 64 and host system has bitness 32, this file cannot be 
executed.

Workaround:
1. first time install boot-sector from the same bitness
2. if you need other bitness, than installed, mount (or remount,rw if you 
don't use runfromram) boot partition and copy image with desired bitness to it 
but with additional extension ".new"; after reboot kernel will be substituted 
to new bitness.
3. next time you will have adequate bitness to following instalations
