 How do you do that?  Just install the amd64 kernel and reboot?
 
Yup :)

Very simple, addresses a lot of problems. In production if a customer
purchases x86_64 kit that's what I deploy to them. You'll even find it's
in the i386 repos.

Thanks.

What if I want to build my own kernel?

Just build a 64 bit kernel. If you're building an i386 or PPC kernel
there is an option toplevel or one down in the config for a 64 bit kernel.

These are the only two archtypes i've got much experience with, and also
the only two that have a 32 bit subset instruction set that springs to mind.
