This won't work because install{world,kernel} uses programs (under
/usr/obj) that were built to run on the build system (amd64 in
your case) and so won't run on the target (i386) system.

The supported approach is to NFS mount the target machines onto the
build machine and run "make DESTDIR=/mount/point install{world,kernel}"
on the build machine.  Note that this will report errors since NFS
cannot handle UFS flags - you will need to manually remove/add schg flags.

an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
