make_boot_tape on 32 bit and boot 64 bit?

Greetings, I need to make a boot tape (to talk to Ignite server on another subnet). I know about altering the INSTALLFS information in order to build the tape on a different machine to the server but the machine I must build the machine on is 32-bit and the machine I need to boot is 64-bit. Is this a problem (wondering about the LIF that gets added to the tape ...)

If make_tape_boot 32-bit INSTALL kernel created onto tape , some systems will not boot as they require the 64-bit WINSTALL kernel to be on the tape instead

Looks like make_boot_tape is just a high level wrapper around make_medialif which will do what I want with the "-m" flag ...
