is there a recipe for moving from i386 to amd64?
on a very remote system, i made the migration from 7.4 to 8.2 to 9.0,
all 32-bit. it was done with repeated
make buildworld
make kernel.new [0]
nextboot -k kernel.new
reboot
make installworld
etc
[0] - well, there were some mv(1)s in there :)
so after it was happy with 9.0 i386, i went to move to amd64 with
make buildworld TARGET=amd64
make kernel TARGET=amd64 DESTDIR=kernel.new [0]
nextboot -k kernel.new
reboot
it did not come back from the reboot, and required a manual reset. i
have no console access to the machine, not my choice.
clue bat please.
