Hi Folks, I just replaced my motherboard with an athlon64 and got everything working great in 32-bit mode. I'm very interested in gradually moving everything to 64-bit. So I tried the following: make TARGET_ARCH=amd64 buildworld make TARGET_ARCH=amd64 buildkernel make TARGET_ARCH=amd64 installkernel This gave me an amd64 kernel that started to boot but had some problems looking for /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1. I tried copying ld-elf.so.1 to ld-elf32.so.1 and got farther. But then later it core dumped with swapon and sh. I can drop into sh, though, so I'm not sure why it core dumped. What is the best way to migrate and existing system to amd64? Can I do that and keep all my ports as i386? I have found no documentation on how to do something like this. I am aware that amd64 is a tier 1 supported architecture, but how about the 32-bit support? Is that solid?
