"Yes.  FreeBSD/amd64 contains a compatibility facility
for i386 binaries.  It should just work out of the box,
unless disabled explicitly."

Ok I see, I understand that I am able to run i386 software on my amd64 (Pentium D).

Because of the error message i386 only, how do I make it install?
Do I use a force switch?  
I am going to try some things after posting this.
