	Hi Emmanuel,
	
	I would suggest getting a version of FreeBSD 8.2 AMD64 from here:

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/8.2/FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

	(you may have a closer mirror)

	If you absolutely want to use 7.2, one of the 4 CDs should have "amd64"
	or "64 bit" written on it - I don't believe there are both 64bit and
	32bit on the same CD, if you look closely.

	Cheers,
	Phil
