I don't see anything funny about the 66-080 machines that would cause
their installs to be 32-bit.  I've started completely standard PXE
reinstalls of debathena-cluster on the affected machines and they seem to
be doing fine so far.

Question for CS: any chance someone who's doing installs saw the
instructions for setting up the 32-bit cluster in W20 and thought it
applied elsewhere?  The only other thing I can think of is that these
machines come from Dell with some weird hardware-limited first-power-up
behavior that's breaking architecture detection...
