FreeBSD 9.0-BETA3 Available...

The third BETA build of the 9.0-RELEASE release cycle is now
available.  Since this is the first release of a brand new branch
I cross-post the announcements on both -current and -stable.  But
just so you know most of the developers active in head pay more
attention to the -current mailing list.  If you notice problems you
can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or on the -current
mailing list.

The 9.0-RELEASE cycle will be tracked here:

        http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/9.0TODO

though the schedule listed there is still way off.  We'll re-work the
schedule some time soon.

NOTE: The location of the FTP install tree and ISOs is the same as it
had been for BETA2, though we are still deciding if this will be the
layout we switch to for the release.

ISO images for the following architectures are available, with pathnames
given relative to the top-level of the FTP site:

  amd64: .../releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/
  i386: .../releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/
  ia64: .../releases/ia64/ia64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/
  powerpc: .../releases/powerpc/powerpc/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/
  powerpc64: .../releases/powerpc/powerpc64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/
  sparc64: .../releases/sparc64/sparc64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/

MD5/SHA256 checksums are tacked on below.

If you would like to use csup/cvsup mechanisms to access the source
tree the branch tag to use is now "RELENG_8", if you use "." (head)
you will get 10-CURRENT.  If you would like to access the source tree
via SVN it is "svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/".  We still have
the nit that the creation of a new SVN branch winds up causing what
looks like a check-in of the entire tree in CVS (a side-effect of the
svn2cvs exporter) so "mergemaster -F" is your friend if you are using
csup/cvsup.

At this point FreeBSD-Update is still not available, in part to help
encourage testing the installer.

We hope to start the Release Candidate phase of the release cycle with
the next test build.
