Ahh, I see.  So...

You read,

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/ \
    handbook/current-stable.html

Under,

  "20.2.2.3 Using FreeBSD-STABLE"

Which states,

  "Join the FreeBSD-stable mailing list <freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org>. 
  This will keep you informed of build-dependencies that may appear in 
  FreeBSD-STABLE or any other issues requiring special attention."

Upon reading this, you tracked -stable for awhile and after seeing there
weren't known problems with your intended architecture (possibly utilizing
list archives as well) proceeded with your install.

Correct?

My conclusion (sorry, no offense!):

  "More people should learn how to read past a 3rd-grade level."

Later,
-Mike
