Announcing 5.2-BETA

2003-11-26 Thread Scott Long
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

To follow up to myself, there likely will not be a package-filled disc1
for the BETA due to it overflowing with the present package list.  We
will have that resolved for the first RC.  Also, attached is the
PGP-signed MD5 sums for the i386 and alpha ISOs.
