I have a box currently running i386 which I want to change over to
run amd64. I have installed a second drive into the machine on which
I have put a basic install of amd64, and have compiled up the world
and kertnel from source.
Can I simply switch the original partition over by mounting it up
I did roughly the same but slightly different method:
ah, and did it work o.k. ?

Yes and I have been using the system for almost 8 months now as my
primary desktop

In the 64 bit FreeBSD world, /usr/lib32 contains libraries
for the x86 binaries and /lib, /usr/lib contain 64 bit
libraries so a straight install may mess things up. At the
very least you should backup your 32 bit root partition --
but I have a feeling my advice is already too late :-)
heh,

If you run only the latest standard binaries you are right
but typically one acquires useful things over time and it is
not always possible to recompile them and also, why bother.
true, but in this case I want to change a more or less vanilla
7-STABLE/i386 to a more or less vanilla

Most all old 32 bit ports should work but upgrading them can

binaries but any port dependencies on a shared library will
be wrong.
It's actually somewhat worse than this:
