Description

### What Happened?

I try to install Elementary to my ASUS Eeebook which has 32bit uefi BIOS, which can't be switch to legacy.

So... Elementary 5.1, 6.0 and 6.1 can boot on this notebook, but installer did not copy/install bootia32.efi. So:

* 5.1 fails, when try to install `boot-ia32.efi` i got error message which looks like bad file name in code :-(
* 6.0 and 6.1 (new installer) ignore this bootia32.efi file total, so i has installed `bootx64.efi` which did not works on my 32bit BIOS.

I did not fix it at this moment, EFI bios and grub is still a bit tricky for me. But any post install instruction will be so helpful.

### Steps to Reproduce

Install it on any 32bit -only EFI BIOS.

### Expected Behavior

Installer install bootia32.efi too, or install it when this boot was detect.

### OS Version

6.x (Odin)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

### Log Output

_No response_

### Hardware Info

ASUS EeeBook XT205TA
