There was a security issue and therefor there are no packages for 9.1


Due to the security incident reported here:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html

only the small third-party package set on the DVD image is available at 
this time for users who require pre-built packages (just GNOME and KDE 
windowing systems). The FreeBSD Project's package building 
infrastructure is undergoing a complete review and redesign. At this 
time we can not commit to a date the full release package set will 
become available. A separate announcement will be made when that becomes 
available. If you wish to install 9.1-RELEASE now you can build your own 
packages using portsnap(8) to obtain an up to date ports tree and then 
build the packages. If you require pre-built packages you should wait 
for the announcement of the full release package set becoming available.

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from several 
vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 9.1-based 
products is:
