+
+ <p>The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the
+ availability of FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE. This is the fifth release
+ from the 8-STABLE branch which improves on the functionality of
+ FreeBSD 8.3 and introduces some new features. Some of the
+ highlights:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><p>Gnome version 2.32.1, KDE version 4.10.1</p></li>
+ <li><p>Feature flags 5000 version of the ZFS filesystem.</p></li>
+ <li><p>Support for all shipping LSI storage controllers.</p></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the
+ online release notes and errata list, available at:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><p><tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/8.4R/relnotes.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/8.4R/relnotes.html</a></tt></p></li>

+
+ <p>FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE is now available for the amd64 and i386
+ architectures. Images for the pc98 architecture should be
+ available within the next 24 hours.</p>
+
+ <p>FreeBSD 8.4 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over
+ the network. Some architectures (currently amd64 and i386) also
+ support installing from a USB memory stick. The required files
+ can be downloaded via FTP 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.</p>
+
+ <p>SHA256 and MD5 hashes for the release ISO and memory stick
+ images are included at the bottom of this message.</p>
+
+ <p>The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are
+ as follows:</p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt>dvd1:</dt>
+
+ <dd><p>This contains everything necessary to install the base
+ FreeBSD operating system, a collection of pre-built
+ packages, and the documentation. 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.</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>disc1:</dt>
+
+ <dd><p>This contains the base FreeBSD operating system and the
+ English documentation package for CDROM-sized media. There
+ are no other packages.</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>livefs:</dt>
+
+ <dd><p>This contains support for booting into a "livefs" based
+ rescue mode but does not support doing an install from the
+ CD itself. It is meant to help rescue an existing system
+ but could be used to do a network based install if
+ necessary.</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>bootonly:</dt>
+
+ <dd><p>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.</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>memstick:</dt>
+
+ <dd><p>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. The documentation packages are provided but no
+ other packages.</p>
+
+ <p>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:</p>
+
+ <pre># dd if=FreeBSD-8.4-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync</pre>
+
+ <p>Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=)
+ correct.</p></dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from
+ several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD
+ 8.4-based products is:</p>
