For BETA2, there is a separate livefs iso image available for amd64 and
ia64.  The i386 disc1 ISO's still include "Fixit" functionality, in the
usual place in the first sysinstall menu.  If the required packages take
up too much space for the i386 release, we will probably see a separate
livefs ISO for this as well.  Earlier releases or snapshots for the
amd64 and ia64 may not have had the same space constraints, and
perhaps included fixit/livefs functionality on the disc1 ISO.

You will probably need the livefs ISO.
