Hello folks,

Today I've tried to build the pc64 kernel after a fresh install of 9front
on my laptop.
I follow the documentation here: http://fqa.9front.org/fqa5.html

But fail to build the pc64 kernel with message below:

mk: don't know how to make '/amd64/bin/paqfs' in directory /sys/src/9/pc64


The fresh installation used the pc kernel (objtype=386).

After the help of khm in the #cat-v channel the build was successfully. He
said that it was needed to *build everything* before build the pc64 kernel
using objtype=amd64 to populate the paqfs.

The success steps are:

term% cd /sys/src
term% objtype=amd64 mk install
term% cd /sys/src/9/pc64
term% objtype=amd64 mk install

Maybe it's a obvious thing, but not for me (plan9 newbie) and maybe the
docs should be updated explaining the correct way to change from pc to pc64
kernel...

Thanks in advance.
