64 bit bootloader

There are many bootloaders on the net that explaint how to get in to protected mode, setting up the basics, etc. but i have yet to find any 64 bit examples. (protected mode continued maybe?)
So i was wondering if one of the bright head in here would like to take the time to put one in the wiki, it would be a great help for many i think.

I dont actually expect anyone to do this, but i know i would if i could, and its allways best to ask.

Regards

Mine is a 64 bit bootloader, and I found the AMD documentation very helpful. It contains sample code for a switch into long mode.

I think i found tha manual and the sample code, and i must say its a lot better than the one in the intel manual, but can i rely on it? imean, surely there must be differences between intel and amd. Is there something i need to be aware of?
