Folks, please bear with this one.

I have 2 new AMD-64 servers on an Abit AN8 MB:
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+
ACPI APIC Table: <Nvidia AWRDACPI>
nVidia nForce4

I must have been asleep because now just discovered the amd64 platform.

If I install the new FBSD-6.0-amd64 release, I get the amd64 install. 
However, I know the time will come to update/upgrade. I haven't figured out 
how to make the system stop using the old:
/sys/i386/conf
rather than:
/sys/amd64/conf

If I try to upgrade the "i386" to the amd64, I keep getting the "i386" build 
and the kernel build fails.

I'm wondering if the tweaking needed can be fixed in my make.conf?

Here's the pertinent lines in my file:
CPUTYPE=athlon64
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe
NO_LIB32=true

Any tips on the proper approach to solve this problem will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack
