Sorry for the delay with this phase of the 6.3 release. A few glitches
were found during testing of the 6.3-RC2 ISOs that included pre-built
packages.
The 6.3-RC2 builds for amd64 and i386 should now be available on the
majority of the FreeBSD mirror sites. I just finished loading the
sparc64 build so that will take a little while to propagate to the
mirrors. This is the last planned RC for 6.3. Unless a major
show-stopper problem is found the release of 6.3 should happen in about
two weeks.
If updating an older system using cvs or c[v]sup based mechanisms the
branch tag to use is RELENG_6_3. Or you can give FreeBSD Update a try,
see the instructions here:
http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-10-freebsd-minor-version-upgrade.html
If you would like to test doing a fresh install ISOs for each <arch> are
available at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/<arch>/ISO-IMAGES/6.3/
(or any of the mirror sites).

I'm mostly interested in changes that happened under src/sys. Cheers, Karl.
Hello, On Mon, 31 Dec 2007 07:59:24 -0500 Ken Smith <kensmith@cse.Buffalo.EDU> wrote:> If you would like to test doing a fresh install ISOs for each <arch> > are available at:I just finsihed installing 6.3-RC2 on my new amd64 machine[1] (I installed from disc1).There was one small issue with sysinstall: when I got to "configure networking", I had to do 'ifconfig re0 up' from the rescue shell on vty4 before the network interface would work (I use dhcp). First I did 'ifconfig re0' - it showed status as "no carrier". after 'ifconfig re0 up' it showed status as "active". I had the same problem when installing FreeBSD 7.0-beta4. I believe this problem is related specifically to some re0 nics, mine is a: tingo@kg-vm$ pciconf -lv | grep -B4 ethernet re0@pci2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x81aa1043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC' class = network subclass = ethernet Perhaps this workaround should be mentioned in the errata if it isn't fixed before release?
