I just installed it on a couple of my machines, but I'm tracking the RELENG_6 branch of the sources and building it myself. Right now 6.2-PRERELEASE is the 6-STABLE sources. So unless you can find someone who took a recent snapshot and built a release, you're going to have to build it yourself. The last snapshot on the FreeBSD FTP server is 6.2-BETA3. Personally, I only use the ISO's for an initial install and update / build from there. The handbook is very detailed about the process.
