Ah, you are keenly perceptive, and alas, you have exposed my 
simi-newbieness.
Yes, 'The Cutting Edge'. Good read. Perhaps The Bleeding Edge would be a 
better title.
However, I think my immediate question is answered already.  RELENG_6_1
I thank you all. My system now boots successfully and reads FreeBSD 
6.1-RC #1 .
If that makes me "current" then I better go subscribe, eh?
If upgrading fixes my original disk drive problem then, viola, a bonus!
