>Description:
When trying to follow the "release-notes" / "hardware-notes" / "installation-notes" link on the "get FreeBSD"site (http://www.freebsd.org/where.html) for every architecture, a 404 error occours. the links are broken.
>How-To-Repeat:
click on the "view" link on http://www.freebsd.org/where.html for the release-notes / hardware-notes / installation-notes
>Fix:
the link adress contains the name of the architecture in the filename. without the filename, the link would work.
for example:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes.html
instead of
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes-alpha.html

<p><em>Note:</em> If you are in doubt of which platform / architecture to get, you
probably need <em>i386</em>.</p>

FreeBSD users.</p>
<ul>

<p><a href="http://www.pcbsd.org">PC-BSD</a> is a FreeBSD derivative with a graphical
installer and impressive desktop tools aimed at ease of use for the casual computer
user.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="http://www.freesbie.org/">FreeSBIE</a> is a LiveCD based on FreeBSD. It works
