I sometimes forget that the kernel config is in
 cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
and not
 cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/

... so I will be editing the wrong kernel config file, rebuilding, and
not understanding why the changes are not reflected in my kernel as
loaded.  But other than that and a little longer build times, all is
pretty much the same

Just to be clear, you have an existing 64bit 8.2 system you are just
updating to stable right ?
