FreeBSD 4 won't run in 64-bit mode. You'll have to run FreeBSD 5 or 6. > 3:) Would it be preferable to upgrade to some 6-current? I would. Performance is likely to be better (especially with the soon-to-come thread library improvements). It's more work, though. Beware that -CURRENT snapshots between 2005/02/16 and 2005/02/24 will be very unstable due to a VM bug which was fixed yesterday. A snapshot built from today's sources should be fine.
