I burned 3 cds trying 9.1.  None would boot ("no kernel"), so I went 
with 8.3.  (I was trying the 
ftp://ftp10.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-sparc64-disc1.iso 
image.  My MD5 sums matched.)

I'm willing to try 9.1 again, but it'll have to be netboot as I just 
broke (!) the cd-rom drive re-trying the 9.1 install disk.

thanks!
