If you upgrade from x86 to x64. Can you do the upgrade remotely from
2.0 release x86 using the gui? Or, is it necessary to do the upgrade
from the pfsense console command line interface?
It can be done remotely, but ...
Also, when Seth mentioned "hard reboot," is he describing doing an init
6 from the command prompt or physically pulling the plug on the unit?
Someone will need to pull the plug or cycle power manually. If you have
IPMI/DRAC/etc then you can reset it that way.
Problem is that you now have a 64-bit reboot binary on a 32-bit system,
and it can't be executed. Also sometimes other bits freak out even if it
starts the reboot process. (We try to preserve a 32-bit reboot binary
but apparently that isn't enough).

Thanks! That clears that up for me.
Now....... if only there were a listing somewhere of what addons are
available for x86 versus x64 versus embedded :-)
Have a good weekend everyone.
