Yes, it is being worked on.  :(

I was hoping no one saw it before having all the details, because I am
not clear on the background bits on freebsd-update.

An update will be sent when things are fixed.  Sorry, again.  :(

Is anyone else seeing this?

Apologies to anyone that ran freebsd-update(8) just after this email,
there was a miscommunication that was my fault that made me think the
freebsd-update(8) bits were already published.

They should be available within the next 20 minutes (worst-case) from
the timestamp of this email.

Apologies for any confusion.

o 11.0-RC2 i386 GENERIC
o 11.0-RC2 powerpc GENERIC
o 11.0-RC2 powerpc64 GENERIC64
o 11.0-RC2 sparc64 GENERIC
o 11.0-RC2 armv6 BANANAPI
o 11.0-RC2 armv6 BEAGLEBONE
o 11.0-RC2 armv6 CUBIEBOARD

o 11.0-RC2 armv6 PANDABOARD
o 11.0-RC2 armv6 WANDBOARD
o 11.0-RC2 aarch64 GENERIC

Note regarding arm/armv6 images: For convenience for those without
console access to the system, a freebsd user with a password of
freebsd is available by default for ssh(1) access.  Additionally,
the root user password is set to root, which it is strongly
recommended to change the password for both users after gaining
access to the system.

Installer images and memory stick images are available here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/

The image checksums follow at the end of this e-mail.

If you notice problems you can report them through the Bugzilla PR
system or on the -stable mailing list.

If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing
system, use the "releng/11.0" branch.

A summary of changes since RC1 includes:

o Support for 'nat global' has been restored in ipfw(4).

o A hang in vtnet(4) when max_virtqueue_pairs > VTNET_MAX_QUEUE_PAIR has
  been fixed.

o Detection bridges that are not really HotPlug capable has been fixed.

o Various clang fixes.

o L2 caching for UDP over IPv6 has been disabled.

o Various build fixes.

o Various other fixes since RC1.

A list of changes since 10.0-RELEASE are available on the releng/11.0
release notes:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/relnotes.html

Please note, the release notes page is not yet complete, and will be
updated on an ongoing basis as the 11.0-RELEASE cycle progresses.

=== Virtual Machine Disk Images ===

VM disk images are available for the amd64 and i386 architectures.
Disk images may be downloaded from the following URL (or any of the
FreeBSD FTP mirrors):

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/11.0-RC2/

The partition layout is:

~ 16 kB - freebsd-boot GPT partition type (bootfs GPT label)
~ 1 GB  - freebsd-swap GPT partition type (swapfs GPT label)
~ 20 GB - freebsd-ufs GPT partition type (rootfs GPT label)

The disk images are available in QCOW2, VHD, VMDK, and raw disk image
formats.  The image download size is approximately 135 MB and 165 MB
respectively (amd64/i386), decompressing to a 21 GB sparse image.

Note regarding arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images: a modified QEMU EFI
loader file is needed for qemu-system-aarch64 to be able to boot the
virtual machine images.  See this page for more information:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU

To boot the VM image, run:

% qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt  \
-bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::,server -nographic \
-drive if=none,file=VMDISK,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
-netdev user,id=net0

Be sure to replace "VMDISK" with the path to the virtual machine image.

=== Amazon EC2 AMI Images ===

FreeBSD/amd64 EC2 AMIs are available in the following regions:

 us-east-1 region: ami-03086b14
 us-west-1 region: ami-3af8ba5a
 us-west-2 region: ami-529b4c32
 sa-east-1 region: ami-e9891885
 eu-west-1 region: ami-4cc2b43f
 eu-central-1 region: ami-af9c6cc0
 ap-northeast-1 region: ami-6fc20c0e
 ap-northeast-2 region: ami-c8ac79a6
 ap-southeast-1 region: ami-fdc41c9e
 ap-southeast-2 region: ami-77cef914

=== Vagrant Images ===

FreeBSD/amd64 images are available on the Hashicorp Atlas site, and can
be installed by running:

% vagrant init freebsd/FreeBSD-11.0-RC2
% vagrant up

=== Upgrading ===

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases.  Systems running earlier
FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 11.0-RC2

During this process, freebsd-update(8) may ask the user to help by
merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically
performed merging was done correctly.

# freebsd-update install

The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before
continuing.

# shutdown -r now

After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new
userland components:

# freebsd-update install

It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible,
especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example,
FreeBSD 9.x.  Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat9x and
other compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted
into the new userland:

# shutdown -r now
