Images for the pc98 architecture should be + available within the next 24 hours.</p> + + <p>FreeBSD 8.4 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over + the network. Some architectures (currently amd64 and i386) also + support installing from a USB memory stick. The required files + can be downloaded via FTP as described in the sections below. + While some of the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all + architectures, they will all generally contain the more common + ones such as amd64 and i386.</p> + + <p>SHA256 and MD5 hashes for the release ISO and memory stick + images are included at the bottom of this message.</p> + + <p>The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are + as follows:</p> + + <dl> + <dt>dvd1:</dt> + + <dd><p>This contains everything necessary to install the base + FreeBSD operating system, a collection of pre-built + packages, and the documentation. It also supports booting + into a "livefs" based rescue mode. This should be all you + need if you can burn and use DVD-sized media.</p></dd> + + <dt>disc1:</dt> + + <dd><p>This contains the base FreeBSD operating system and the + English documentation package for CDROM-sized media. There + are no other packages.</p></dd> + + <dt>livefs:</dt> + + <dd><p>This contains support for booting into a "livefs" based + rescue mode but does not support doing an install from the + CD itself. It is meant to help rescue an existing system + but could be used to do a network based install if + necessary.</p></dd> + + <dt>bootonly:</dt> + + <dd><p>This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but + does not contain the support for installing FreeBSD from the + CD itself. You would need to perform a network based + install (e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the + CD.</p></dd> + + <dt>memstick:</dt> + + <dd><p>This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive) + and used to do an install on machines capable of booting off + USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based + rescue mode. The documentation packages are provided but no + other packages.</p> + + <p>As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming the + USB drive appears as /dev/da0 on your machine something like + this should work:</p> + + <pre># dd if=FreeBSD-8.4-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync</pre> + + <p>Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) + correct.</p></dd> + </dl> + + <p>FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from + several vendors.
