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

SOC BCM2837
CPU Quad Cortex A53 @ 1.2GHz
Instruction Set ARMv8-A

GPU 400MHz VideoCore IV
RAM 1GB SDRAM
Storage micro-SD
Ethernet 10/100
Wireless 802.11n/Bluetooth 4.0
Video Output HDMI/composite
Audio Output JDMI/Headphone
GPIO 40

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?
