Don't bother. I went by the same instructions, and while it didn't move to the
mounted drive properly, it didn't boot either.

If the only thing separating 32/64 bit is the amount of ram and crazy random
integers will actually break any kind of install even when the system is
definitely 64bit.. Something is definitely screwed up there.

I'm just going to stick with the 32 bit version that successfully installed the
first time on my 128gb microSD card. I'm not sure if I'm going to do some
testing as a point system (which would have faster results) or completely move
my system over and make sure everything is sync'd up and good to go. We'll see.
I'm glad to be able to do this with no hurry, that's for sure.

I'm also contemplating getting another one just for a media server, so I don't
have to turn on my expensive gaming PC just to watch movies. :)

Regards,
Nick
