There are so many combinations of hardware that it is impossible for
us to test them all.  There were many changes made from FreeBSD 5.3 to
5.4 and then many more to get to 6.0.  As well, it took over 2 months
to work out the known bugs in 6.0.

A look at our GNATS database will show many errors filed against all
of these releases.  It is simply impossible to address all 4800+ of
these with the developers tha twe have.  So we simply to try to address
the problems with the hardware that the developers have and work from
there.
