I just booted the 6.2-RC1 install CD on the system, and it seems to
work fine.  It recognized the SATA controller, the hard drive, and the
network ports, and the outputs from fdisk and disklabel were
correct.  I didn't see any signs of problems.

I've been running -current on the system for a week or two without
any problems.
