A number of the issues brought up with RC2 have been resolved, and the
latest release candidate (RC3) is now available for i386 (alpha coming
soon) :
ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RC3
ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.9-RC3-i386-disc1.iso
MD5 (4.9-RC3-i386-disc1.iso) = a8fc7f9b86865004a02ab7a805cddbf0
We are especially interested in hearing reports from users using IPFW2
after Kirk's recent fix. Please send us a note if you are able to
test IPFW2 in any substantial way. The firewire module loading issue
has been resolved, but the SATA issue has not. John Baldwin has a
patch posted at http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/sata.patch
(thanks to everyone on this list who helped debug this)
Thanks,
Release Engineering Team
