For enable 64 bit on RouterOS x86 installation
(obviously installed on 64 bit hardware with more than 4GB of ram)
“simply”
remove hard disk and connect it on another linux PC
OR
use a bootable USB with linux (ubuntu setup for example) for access on ext3 internal storage
and on folder /system/rw
“simply” create empty file named
ENABLE_X86_64
warning: all uppercase, with _ and NO SPACES (with right -rw-r–r–)
put back the hard disk,
start RouterOS (x86_64 still not active),
put this on terminal (for “touch” and update the hardware preferencies on boot ramdisk):
/system hardware set multi-cpu=no
:delay 2s
/system hardware set multi-cpu=yes
you see two times the message on terminal:
echo: system,info,critical New hardware settings will take effect after the reboot
echo: system,info,critical New hardware settings will take effect after the reboot
reboot RouterOS,
now x86_64 is active.
