I'll also switch from i386 to amd64 as the hardware the system runs on has changed last year as well. I don't want to install 8 again as I don't want to reinstall / upgrade 8 -> 9 later when 9 is finally released. I did this as well when 8 was about to be released and used images from some japanese snapshot server back those days (as far as I can remember). I now saw announces from august, that some BETA1 images of 9.0 where "released" and wanted to use those: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-August/026181.html http://www.freebsdnews.net/2011/08/01/freebsd-9-beta1-testing/ But sadly they seem to be gone from the FTP servers. The system has beside its harddisks only a floppy drive (no space for a CD-ROM) so I would need the memstick image Any idea where I could get FreeBSD-9.0-BETA1-amd64-memstick.img from? I'd like to do the upgrade this weekend as the system runs actually a degraded gmirror (2 already broken drives and no spare drive left...) and who knows when the last remaining drive fails as well...
