The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability
of FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. This is the second release from the 8-STABLE
branch which improves on the functionality of FreeBSD 8.0 and introduces some
new features. Some of the highlights:
- zfsloader added

- NFSv4 ACL support in UFS and ZFS; support added to cp(1), find(1),
getfacl(1), mv(1), and setfacl(1) utilities
- UltraSPARC IV/IV+, SPARC64 V support
- SMP support in PowerPC G5
- BIND 9.6.2-P2
- sendmail updated to 8.14.4
- OpenSSH updated to 5.4p1
- GNOME 2.30.1, KDE 4.4.5
For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the
online release notes and errata list, available at:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/8.1R/relnotes.html

Availability
-------------
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64, pc98,
powerpc, and sparc64 architectures.
FreeBSD 8.1 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 or BitTorrent 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.
MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO and memory stick images are
included at the bottom of this message.
The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are as follows:
dvd1: 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.
disc1: This contains the base FreeBSD operating system and the
documentation packages for CDROM-sized media. There are no
other packages.
livefs: 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.
bootonly: 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.
memstick: 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.
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:
# dd if=8.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync
Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from several
vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 8.1-based
products is:
~ FreeBSD Mall, Inc. http://www.freebsdmall.com/
BitTorrent
----------
8.1-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent. A collection of torrent
files to download the images is available at:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html
For instructions on installing FreeBSD, please see Chapter 2 of The
FreeBSD Handbook. It provides a complete installation walk-through
for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online at:

Updates from Source
-------------------
The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in the
FreeBSD Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
The branch tag to use for updating the source is RELENG_8_1 for CVS.
For SVN use releng/8.1.
FreeBSD Update
--------------
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.[0123]-RELEASE,
8.0-RELEASE, 8.1-BETA1, or 8.1-RC[12] can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.1-RELEASE
During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging
some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically
performed merging was done correctly.
# freebsd-update install
The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing.
# shutdown -r now
After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new
userland components:
# freebsd-update install
At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE or
earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update to rebuild all third-party
applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates
in system libraries.
After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if
freebsd-update printed a message indicating that this was necessary),
run freebsd-update again so that it can delete the old (no longer used)
system libraries:
# freebsd-update install
Finally, reboot into 8.1-RELEASE:
# shutdown -r now
Support
