These have now been resolved, and for the last day or so, pending bug fixes have been rushing into the branch. We'll wait a couple more days while things catch up, and then cut 8.0 BETA3. You can read more about the status of 8.0, including tracking pending and approved fixes, on the 8.0 release engineering wiki: http://wiki.freebsd.org/8.0TODO Your help in testing, diagnosing, and fixing FreeBSD 8.x problems *before* the release is much appreciated!
