Oops... Forgot to tell you what to do after the kernel build has finished. The best thing to do is to setup netbooting. That way you can continue to build and tweak on the i386 and boot the ia64 box over the network. This requires enabling tftp on the i386 (see inetd.conf) and installing a DHCP server (I use the one in the ports collection). If /tftpboot is where you have the tftp server look for the files, you can put the kernel there like this: cd /usr/src; make installkernel TARGET_ARCH=ia64 DESTDIR=/tftpboot You also need the loader there. The easiest way for now is to just install the whole world build. Once you get a feel for it, you'll know how to minimize space. Install world like: cd /usr/src; make installworld TARGET_ARCH=ia64 DESTDIR=/tftpboot Configure the DHCP server so that the loader is fetched from /tftpboot/boot/loader.efi There are other ways as well, but they all differ in the extend of FreeBSD knowledge one needs to have.
