I thought the RPi3 is 32bit, not 64?

For what is working with RPI 3
I already have the 32 bit version running on the RPI 3. However, the RPI 3 is 64 bits. Here is the specification

No SATA. That is one of my basic requirements.
The 1GB SDRAM does limit the usefulness but unless there is something else that makes it impossible to run a 64 bit OS it should in principle work.
I made an image on an SD Card per the readme but where I am spinning my wheels is the line that says this:
- You will need to add the appropriate boot information in a uefi entry after using this image, since the installer traditionally handles this.
I am not sure what I have to do to get the system to boot off the image I created. I tried some very obvious stuff such as grabbing a cmdline.txt and config.txt from the 32bit version. If I look at the 32bit version I see all this interesting stuff (e.g. bcm2708-rpi-b.dtb, etc.) but there is no such stuff in the 64 bit boot directory on the image. It seems lots of stuff might be missing? For example I suppose I need 64 bit RPI3 firmware which might be unavailable?
