there are instructions on going from i386 to amdd64 in the mailing
list archives. basicly you make a mini amd64 install on your swap
partition and then from there over your old i386 install
After reading all the DOCs, the next thing I did was go through the
archives. Just didn't see that.
In the meantime, I had a clean ISO-amd64 install going and have done a
successful world & kernal builds/installs. Now, at least I have the
confidence that I'll be able to do updates.
Next step is to move over the non-sys content from the i386 server. Lots of
trouble, but not much more than the crossbuild effort which has been futile
thus far.
At least I'm learning by "doing." Think I'll stick to this clean ISO
install.
Thanks for all the suggestions, fellows!
The best,
Jack
