I wrote up what I did recently to migrate from stable/10 i386 to stable/10 amd64 on a couple of machines here at home (including the machine running the mutt process I'm using to read & write email). The write-up may be found at <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/convert_i386_amd64.html>. Note that: * The machines did have ports installed at the time (but I did subsequently deinstall all ports and installed corresponding packages that I had built with poudriere). * These machines -- as is the case with most FreeBSD machines that I set up -- have more than one bootable slice. I find the increased flexibility this provides quite useful. * I have continued to upgrade the machines (both FreeBSD base and poudriere-built packages) weekly since then (as has been my practice for some time).
