Did you

a) Verify the checksum of your iso image,


No but that's a good idea.  I just checked the image and it's fine.  I 
also did md5 checks between the image and the CD to see if it burned 
properly and all looks good.



and/or

b) Try the amd64 version?


No...  I tried the amd64 version over a year ago (maybe 5.2 release?) 
and had loads of problems building ports.  Since I use FreeBSD for my
desktop machine, I depend on lots of them.  It seems doubtful that all 
those ports now build without problems under amd64, but what do you 
think?
