Hi,

For a long time, the /boot and pxeboot of i386 would boot amd64's
kernel and amd64's would boot i386's kernel.

My tftp server had both amd64 and i386 bsd.rd files named
"bsdamd64.rd" and "bsdi386.rd", snapshots downloaded daily.  But
recently, I discovered I could not PXE boot i386's bsd.rd from the
amd64 pxeboot.  

I then grabbed a spare laptop, and confirmed this problem happened
the other way as well -- an amd64 installed machine could not boot
i386 from the amd64 /boot file.

I also see the i386 and amd64 boot files have different version
numbers now.  So...I'm kinda inclined to guess this is not an
accident, but figured I'd ask just in case it is.

Nick.
