What I am trying to do is compile an amd64 kernel, install it and

compiled in sys/i386.
amd64 and i386 are different platforms in the same sense that sparc64
and ppc are different platforms. An AMD 64 is not back-compatible to
pentium pro code when it's in 64-bit mode. Whilst 32-bit binaries can
be run on the amd64 platform, they need special handling, you can't
just mix-and-match world and kernel platforms.
Thanks, RW. I had assumed that and had hoped to run my make
buildworld, make buildkernel, mergemaster, make installkernel and make
installworld then upgrade all ports.
The problem is that I haven't been able to figure out, how to build
using all amd64.
Again very dumb on my part, I'm sure.
