where the hardware can do either, the kernel you boot chooses the cputype = to suit itself.
/sys/src/9/pc is only 386 (= ie, 32-bit x86). another directory is used for amd64 (ie, 64-bit x86).
you can use the 386 kernel to compile and instal= l the /amd64 environment though,
which you&= #39;ll need to do before running an amd64 kernel.
