Hey all, I've just had my first experience with FreeBSD/AMD64. Perhaps naively, I've built the world using the usual command sequence. After installing the world, however, I've noticed all the system binaries are 32 bits. I think this shouldn't be the case! Also, make buildkernel KERNCONF=name doesn't work (always says it cannot find the kernel). I've placed my kernel config on /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/ , this is the right directory to place it on a 64 bits machine, right ? Perhaps I need an extra switch to the make buildkernel command, instructing a 64 bits architecture. Last but not the least, building my kernel "the old way" (config NAME, cd.. /compile/NAME && make depend && make && make install) gives out a bunch of errors right at the start and fails. I don't have the error messages right now. The system is 5.3-STABLE as of last thursday. Any insight on this would be very much welcomed! Thanks.
