How can that happen?  As I mentioned, I would be dual booting into
*either* x86 or amd64.  There is only one computer (my laptop)
involved; all filesystems are local.

Perhaps your suggestion of separate subdirs is better for clarity, but
I don't see how the problem you mentioned can occur in my situation.
