This is a case where I wish the architecture types were renamed to modern day
nomenclature. Most people outside the *nix world know i386 as the x86
architecture and AMD64 as either x86-64 or straight x64. IA64

You wont even et IA64 booting as that is a compilation for Itanium
processors.
For the 64bit enabled Xeon processors Intel licensed the AMD64 instruction
set.
Therefor th
Get cpuid from /usr/ports/misc/cpuid and run it, that should give you a
better idea of what your processor is. Although, from the string you
gave, looks like a 'yes'. I think that's a nocona xeon (I have a pair of
gallatins).

No, he does not want that. IA64 is for Intel's Itanium CPUs which are only
used in a few big servers and just about nowhere else. The below is an
ordinary x86 CPU (which the Itanium most certainly is not.)
