+
+  <h2>Dedication</h2>
+
+  <p>The FreeBSD Project dedicates the FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to the
+    memory of Dennis M. Ritchie, one of the founding fathers of the
+    UNIX[tm] operating system.  It is on the foundation laid by the
+    work of visionaries like Dennis that software like the FreeBSD
+    operating system came to be.  The fact that his work of so many
+    years ago continues to influence new design decisions to this very
+    day speaks for the brilliant engineer that he was.</p>
+
+  <p>May he rest in peace.</p>
+
+  <h2>Availability</h2>
+
+  <p>FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64,
+    powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures.</p>
+
+  <p>FreeBSD 9.0 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the
+    network.  Some architectures 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.</p>
+
+  <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> A problem was discovered with the DVD
+    images for amd64 and i386 architectures shortly after they were
+    loaded on the FTP distribution server.  Those images have since
+    been replaced and we have allowed enough time that the newer
+    images should have distributed to all the FTP servers that carry
+    the release.  If you downloaded the amd64 or i386 DVD images prior
+    to this announcement it would be a good idea to verify the
+    checksums of the image you downloaded with the checksums provided
+    as part of this Release Announcement.  The only thing wrong with
+    the images that were replaced is that sysinstall(8) can not be
+    used to install the pre-built packages on the DVD.  Other than
+    that there is nothing different on the updated images.  The bad
+    DVD images were never available on BitTorrent.</p>
+
+  <p>MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO 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
+	aimed at getting a graphical workstation up and running.  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. It also
+	supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode.  There are
+	no pre-built packages.</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.  There are no pre-built 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-9.0-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 9.0-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from
+    several vendors.  One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD
+    9.0-based products is:</p>
+
+  <ul>

+  </ul>
+
+  <h2>BitTorrent</h2>
+
+  <p>9.0-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent.  A collection of
+    torrent files to download the images is available at:</p>
