I'd first inistalled OpenBSD on my sparc64, because it installed without 
that serial line.  Then I realized I had a way to install FreeBSD witout 
it, and tried that, successfully, but because OpenBSD was there already, 
a fair number of files that were from the OpenBSD install survived. 
This is quite beyond doubt, because one of the things was a new ssh key, 
I'd sent it to a second machie, and that key survived!

Well, anyhow, it's caused me some small problems, which I figure I can 
fix by doing a make installworld, which is why the time being 64 bit 
question came from.  OK, one last question, FOR THE SPARC PLATFORM, 
would I be more intelligent using RELENG_5_3 or RELENG_5_4 to base the 
installworld from?

Or, another?
