9.1-RELEASE seems to be available on the FTP sites.
I am just downloading it from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/.

Note that there has been no official announcement yet. The ISO images may still be subject to last-minute changes until then.izotov said:9.1-RELEASE seems to be available on the FTP sites.

kpa said:A note about make installworld.
While you can usually do it over a live system running in multiuser mode I'd still recommend rebooting first in to single user mode after doing make installkernel. First, if you're on a system running in non-default securelevel(7) the make installworld is going to fail because of schg file flags on critical system binaries. Second, the future releases may implement a system protection method similar but separate to securelevel(7) that again may prevent installing over system binaries on a multiuser system.
Why hasn't been announced yet, it is burning in my hands.
