	There is a way to "upgrade" from i386 to amd64 on an installed
   system, but it is strongly suggested that you not attempt to do
   that.

	The advise I was given is to install from scratch, and know
   happiness.

	If you insist on fulfilling you masochistic desires, I 
   believe /usr/src/UPDATING has a proceedure on doing so.
