After reading all the DOCs, the next thing I did was go through the 
archives. Just didn't see that.

In the meantime, I had a clean ISO-amd64 install going and have done a 
successful world & kernal builds/installs. Now, at least I have the 
confidence that I'll be able to do updates.

Next step is to move over the non-sys content from the i386 server. Lots of 
trouble, but not much more than the crossbuild effort which has been futile 
thus far.

At least I'm learning by "doing." Think I'll stick to this clean ISO 
install.

Thanks for all the suggestions, fellows!

The best,
Jack
