I am using NetBSD i386 on my desktop. Just want to cross check whether my
processor is 64bit and whether I could use 64 bit system instead of 32
bit.
dmesg describes the processor as follows:
cpu0 at mainbus0 apid 0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz, id 0xf65
cpu1 at mainbus0 apid 1: Intel(R)

That can't be right. On my cpu (on which I have installed the 64-bit
version) I don't have
The easiest and most reliable thing to is to get an amd64 install image
and to boot the CD and see if it runs. But if EM64T isn't set it almost
certainly won't work.
2. Which sets shall I use for an Intel 64 bit processor - amd64? A bit
worried since wikipedia page below says there are

Another posting suggested sysctl -a | grep 64 but I don't see what
kernel state would help show that from looking at various NetBSD 32 bit
and 64 bit systems.
I was probably misguided by finding these entries in sysctl -a:
Hi!
I have upgraded to 6.1.3 and have upgraded also most of my packages.
The machine is not one of the fastest for compiling seamonkey :)
Anyway, the problem is that if I try to start seamonkey, I get a hard

No, he looks to be using linux to do the dd, that is
