All, It's my pleasure to announce the availability of 5.2-BETA ISO images and ftp install sets for i386 and alpha. Amd64, sparc64, ia64, and pc98 sets will be available shortly. Please test this as much as possible and let us know of the problems that you find. Some known problems to watch out for: - Certain SMP systems may fail to boot. Disabling ACPI may work around this. - NFS might be unstable in certain situations, though we have not been able to identify what situations yet. - Rebuilding ata-raid arrays may cause panics. Please see the 5.2 TODO list at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2R/todo.html for the list of other problems and areas that need testing. ISO images and ftp install sets are available from ftp.freebsd.org and its mirrors at /pub/FreeBSD/releases/<ARCH>. If the bits have not reached your favorite mirror yet, please check the list of alternate mirrors at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html Please help us make 5.2 the best FreeBSD release ever! Thank you, The Release Engineering Team
