where is the 9.0-BETA1 ?

[schatchaos]

I wanted to test (among other things) the new installer in 9.0, and I followed the links on http://www.freebsd.org/where.html
I wanted to test the i386 builds, but ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ doesn't exist. It seems only ia64 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ia64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ is there.

Any ideas where the beta1 i386 (and amd64) is hidden?

Sorry if I missed something obvious, but in that case the links on /where.html should be updated...

You're right. The 201107 snapshots of 9-CURRENT only had ia64 images also. Please file a PR.

I'm guessing they're at BETA2 now. It might take a few days for everything to catch up.

They were there as I have a BETA1 image sitting on my harddrive :e

release layout changed, beta2 are under .../TARGET/TARGET_ARCH/ - ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/

Thanks for the pointer. I installed the (unannounced) 9.0-BETA2 now.

BTW: I really don't get the .../i386/i386/... path naming scheme - but I'm sure there is a greater plan behind.

Looking forward to freebsd-update support for 9.0

The installer for Beta2 is.. different.. Looks like I have to relearn a few things.
