I don't know of any official ISO's of 6.2-PRERELEASE. I just installed it on a 
couple of my machines, but I'm tracking the RELENG_6 branch of the sources 
and building it myself. Right now 6.2-PRERELEASE is the 6-STABLE sources. So 
unless you can find someone who took a recent snapshot and built a release, 
you're going to have to build it yourself. The last snapshot on the FreeBSD 
FTP server is 6.2-BETA3. Personally, I only use the ISO's for an initial 
install and update / build from there. The handbook is very detailed about 
the process.
