Glen Barber has announced the availability of the first BETA for 9.2. The checksums for each file are at that announcement link. For those of you using Amazon EC2, the list of available AMIs are here.

The first BETA build of the 9.2-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, and ia64 architectures.

ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available here as well as any of the FreeBSD mirror sites.

If you notice problems, report them through the PR system or on the -stable mailing list.

If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing system use "stable/9". Please be aware that cvsup and CVS are both deprecated, and are not supported methods of updating the src/ tree.

Important note to freebsd-update(8) users: Due to a last minute problem found in the 9.2-BETA1 freebsd-update(8) builds, freebsd-update(8) is NOT supported for 9.2-BETA1 upgrades. Please do not use freebsd-update(8) to upgrade to 9.2-BETA1.
