1. Back up your data
2. Insert native amd64 miniinst cdrom
[a new 6-current snap has *just* gone up, so now's a great time]
3. boot, follow prompts.
Having done both this option, and the heavily convoluted i386->amd64
option (mainly just for the bragging rights :) trust me when I say thaat
steps 1-3 above are going to be considerably quicker, easier, more
painless, etc. than anything else.
Really.
