Ah, that's a different issue.
As I understand it, I've two choices.
1) Use Lilo, which can be built and run in 64 bit mode, along with nasm and
what ever else Lilo needs.
2) Use grub, which only builds in 32 bit mode, but can still pass the system
over to the 64 bit Linux system.
Does it really make any difference? As far as I know, grub only runs in 32 bit
mode until control is passed to the 64 bit kernel, then everything else runs
in native 64 bit mode.
Either way, once built properly, the system runs in native 64 bit mode, with
the 64 bit libs in /lib and 32 bit support libs in /lib32
Of course the trick is building the system properly (-;
Cheers,
John Gay
