Unhappy with cross-worlding

Additionally ...
After I've created, bootable binary USB amd64 on i386, I wanted do a 
freebsd-update, on memstick, via '-b' flag, to avoid doing it later.

Conclusion:
Don't use '-b' at all, as it fetches updates for LOCAL running OS (i386)

>From running 8.1 i386, I did a binary 8.1 am64 install into /memstick
Then I ran: (to avoid running it after boot)

    freebsd-update -b /memstick fetch
    freebsd-update -b /memstick install

It is really retarded, but it fetched for local i386 and with them patched 
amd64 in /memstick


This cross-worlding is a total mess!
Nothing works.
