OK, but this was not the problem we were discussing in this paragraph.
In the part of your email that you snipped you discussed problems with
the amd64 system failing to recognize libraries on your i386 disk
image.  This is expected behaviour.

You'll need to enable DDB and obtain some debugging information.  See
the developers handbook for full instructions.

The problem is that you didn't bother to read the documentation when
you encountered "problems" (or ask for help), but instead guessed
about how you think the system should work.

Unfortunately, your guesses were in disagreement with documented
reality in most of the cases you mentioned.
