The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability
of FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE. This is the first release from the stable/9 branch,
which improves on stable/8 and adds many new features. Some of the
highlights:
– A new installer, bsdinstall(8) has been added and is the installer
used by the ISO images provided as part of this release
– The Fast Filesystem now supports softupdates journaling
– ZFS updated to version 28
– Updated ATA/SATA drivers support AHCI, moved into updated CAM
framework
– Highly Available Storage (HAST) framework
– Kernel support for Capsicum Capability Mode, an experimental
set of features for sandboxing support
– User-level DTrace
– The TCP/IP stack now supports pluggable congestion control framework
and five congestion control algorithm implementations available
– NFS subsystem updated, new implementation supports NFSv4 in
addition to NFSv3 and NFSv2
– High Performance SSH (HPN-SSH)
– Flattened device tree (FDT), simplifying FreeBSD configuration
for embedded platforms
– The powerpc architecture now supports Sony Playstation 3
– The LLVM compiler infrastructure and clang have been imported
– Gnome version 2.32.1, KDE version 4.7.3
For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the
online release notes and errata list, available at:

Dedication
———-
The FreeBSD Project dedicates the FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to the memory of
Dennis M. Ritchie, one of the founding fathers of the UNIX[tm] operating
system. It is on the foundation laid by the work of visionaries like Dennis
that software like the FreeBSD operating system came to be. The fact that
his work of so many years ago continues to influence new design decisions
to this very day speaks for the brilliant engineer that he was.
May he rest in peace.
Availability
————-
FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc,
powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures.
FreeBSD 9.0 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the
network. Some architectures also support installing from a USB memory
stick. The required files can be downloaded via FTP or BitTorrent as
described in the sections below. While some of the smaller FTP mirrors
may not carry all architectures, they will all generally contain the more
common ones such as amd64 and i386.
NOTE: A problem was discovered with the DVD images for amd64 and i386
architectures shortly after they were loaded on the FTP distribution
server. Those images have since been replaced and we have allowed
enough time that the newer images should have distributed to all the
FTP servers that carry the release. If you downloaded the amd64 or
i386 DVD images prior to this announcement it would be a good idea to
verify the checksums of the image you downloaded with the checksums
provided as part of this Release Announcement. The only thing wrong
with the images that were replaced is that sysinstall(8) can not be used
to install the pre-built packages on the DVD. Other than that there is
nothing different on the updated images. The bad DVD images were never
available on BitTorrent.
MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO and memory stick images are
included at the bottom of this message.
The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are as follows:
dvd1: This contains everything necessary to install the base FreeBSD
operating system, the documentation, and a small set of pre-built
packages aimed at getting a graphical workstation up and running.
It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. This
should be all you need if you can burn and use DVD-sized media.
disc1: This contains the base FreeBSD operating system. It also supports
booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. There are no pre-built
packages.
bootonly: This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but
does not contain the support for installing FreeBSD from the
CD itself. You would need to perform a network based install
(e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the CD.
memstick: This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive) and
used to do an install on machines capable of booting off USB
drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue
mode. There are no pre-built packages.
As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming the USB drive
appears as /dev/da0 on your machine something like this should work:
# dd if=FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync
Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.
FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from several
vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 9.0-based
products is:
