FreeBSD 8.3 location

[kb6rxe]

I see that FreeBSD 8.3 is supposed to deliver its first Beta today.
Does anyone know where I can find it when it is delivered?

Watch the freebsd-stable mailing list. All the details will be posted there.

And when it's delivered, you can find it on the release information page.

It has probably been delayed a little because of the release of 9.0.

I like to make test systems with all the Betas and Release Candidates.
Where will I find those?

 

[SirDice]

If, and when, they're available you'll find them on the release page.

It showed up in the usual location last night. I tried to install it on 2 different computers and it gave me the

unable to find device node for /dev/ad4s1b in /dev

message both times.

I tried another harddrive and got past the "device node" error. Funny, the old disk had FreeBSD 9 RC 2 installed on it and it booted ok before I tried to install 8.3.
