Here's a procedure that worked for me.

- download new usbinstamd64.bz2 from 9atom.org
- boot it up, run through the installer
- answer no to ``build full amd64 set?''
- answer no to ``halt system?''
- mount new disk's 9fat and copy over /386/9paed
- edit plan9.ini to boot 9paed

The first four steps is exactly how I installed 9atom. My edit to plan9.ini added bootargs, mouseport, removed user=

Then a reboot and 'mk install' in /sys/src/ resulted in a working amd64 system for me.

One issue is networking - to successfully get a dhcp lease I have to use generic dhcp options ( ip/ipconfig -G ) That could be a specific quirk to my network.
