That's why the statement "you may have installed the 64-bit distribution" Wojciech refered to as "nonsense": On a 32 bit system, the 64 bis OS version should not run. So the OP seems to be using the (correct!) 32 bit OS version, but trying to compile the 64 bit kernel (from /sys/amd64/conf instead of from /sys/i386/conf). Therefore, it's a matter of having chosen the wrong kernel config, not the wrong OS version. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
