Subject: [9fans] [GSOC] plan9 which arch code to use?

Dear all,

     I was confused by one experiment which is done today.
My machine is x86_64 and I run Plan9 inside KVM. According to my
understanding, operating system should detect which hardware platform it is
running (x86, sparc, etc) and automatically invoke
corresponding arch-dependent codes. But, when I echo $cputypes,
it is 386! I also browse some kernel config file in /sys/src/9/pc, it seems
that plan9 forces to use 386 for Intel cpus (right?). Please tolerate if I
made stupid mistakes, I just wonder how to make a amd64 kernel? (My
hardware already supports that.)



Thanks, Yan
