How to convert from i386 to amd64

Some further information about what I've tried so far:

The stock FreeBSD 5.2.1-amd64 CD-ROM gets as far as showing me the
daemon boot screen.  I select booting without ACPI and get the
spinning bar for a couple of seconds and then:

int=0000000d  err=00000000  efl=00010006  eip=00025e59
