Upgrade server from i386 - amd64 kernel ...
Just had a new 64bit server installed at the colo, but they accidentally installed a i386 ISO, instead of an AMD64 one ... is it possible to build / install an amd64 world, or do I have to re-install from a proper ISO first ?

Yes, in fact it's pretty simple, quoting /usr/src/Makefile: # If TARGET_ARCH=arch (e.g. ia64, sparc64, ...) is specified you can # cross build world for other architectures using the buildworld target, # and once the world is built you can cross build a kernel using the # buildkernel target. Just read through /usr/src/Makefile and /usr/src/UPDATING. Leo. On Mon, 11 Sep 2006, Marc G.

Yes, I've done it a few months ago.. Just read through the files.. As far as I remember you need to build amd64 world, then kernel, installworld, installkernel, reboot, voila, it works.. I had some small problems which I don't remember now, you will able to solve them for sure. Maybe don't forget to backup your data first ;-) On Mon, 11 Sep 2006, Marc G.
