FreeBSD 5.1-BETA2 install results

Hi everyone. First off, I am newly subscribed to this mailing list and 
apologize if some of the following issues have already been covered. I've 
scanned the messages from the past few days, but you never know...

I just performed a 'clean' install of 5.0-BETA2, and have encountered a few 
issues which may (or may not!) be considered as 'bugs'. Relevant system 
specs are as follows:

AMD Athlon MP 2100+
1GB RAM
(1) WD 120GB (model #WD1200BB-00CAA1) UDMA100 IDE hard drive
(1) WD 80GB (model #WD800BB-00CAA) UDMA100 IDE hard drive

I dual-boot with Windows XP, and FreeBSD has been installed on the second 
80GB drive.

Issues encountered:

1) Sysinstall warned that the detected HD geometry was wrong, and used a 
'more likely geometry' in fdisk (which was the correct geometry, AFAIK)

2) Upon executing 'newfs' to format the drive, a bunch  of messages spewed 
across the install screen like this:

    S:63 = (0/1/1) E:135813509 = (ff/fe/ff)
    S:135813510 = (ff/ff/ff) E:156296384 = (ff/fe/ff)

3) The 'krb5' and 'ports' distributions failed to install over FTP from 
ftp://ftp5.FreeBSD.org. I noticed in a prior post to this list that the krb5 
distro was folded into 'crypto', which appears to be correct. However, 
sysinstall still looks for 'krb5' separately and issues an error when it 
can't be found.

4) After installing the 'crypto' distribution, the following error is 
visible in the debug window (ttyv1).
    /stand/gunzip: failed fclose

Aside from these issues, which may or _may not_ be problems, the install 
went rather well.

One more note: when I boot my system, the very first kernel message that I 
see is:
    stray IRQ 7

This did not occur in FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, I wonder what has changed? irq7 
is used by my parallel port, which has a printer attached (lpt0).

That's it. :) I'm sorry if this message sounds like I'm nitpicking (I'm 
not!), but I just wanted to do my part to help make the next release as 
stable and problem-free as possible. Feel free to request any additional 
information, and thanks in advance for your help...

Regards.
Mike
