I'm not sure if there is a newer snapshot built yet, but perhaps you can try booting a HEAD kernel into single user mode (will probably blow up due to not liking /sbin/init) on your i386 world (would need to use a cross-build (so 'make TARGET=amd64 kernel-toolchain; make TARGET=amd64 buildkernel', etc.) as a test? -- John Baldwin
