First time experience with AMD64

[Hugo Silva]

Hey all,

I've just had my first experience with FreeBSD/AMD64. Perhaps naively, 
I've built the world using the usual command sequence. After installing 
the world, however, I've noticed all the system binaries are 32 bits. I 
think this shouldn't be the case!

Also, make buildkernel KERNCONF=name doesn't work (always says it cannot 
find the kernel). I've placed my kernel config on 
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/ , this is the right directory to place it on a 
64 bits machine, right ? Perhaps I need an extra switch to the make 
buildkernel command, instructing a 64 bits architecture.

Last but not the least, building my kernel "the old way" (config NAME, 
cd.. /compile/NAME && make depend && make && make install) gives out a 
bunch of errors right at the start and fails. I don't have the error 
messages right now.

The system is 5.3-STABLE as of last thursday.

Any insight on this would be very much welcomed!

Thanks.
