<h2 id="availability">Availability</h2>
<p>FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386,
powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures.</p>
<p>FreeBSD 9.1 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>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-9.1-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>Due to the security incident reported here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html</a></p>
<p>only the small third-party package set on the DVD image is
available at this time for users who require pre-built packages
(just GNOME and KDE windowing systems). The FreeBSD Project's
package building infrastructure is undergoing a complete review
and redesign. At this time we can not commit to a date the full
release package set will become available. A separate
announcement will be made when that becomes available. If you
wish to install 9.1-RELEASE now you can build your own packages
using portsnap(8) to obtain an up to date ports tree and then
build the packages. If you require pre-built packages you
should wait for the announcement of the full release package set
becoming available.</p>
<p>FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from
several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD
9.1-based products is:</p>

<h2>Support</h2>

the EoL of 9.0-RELEASE has been pushed to March 31st 2013 to
allow people sufficient time to upgrade. As always all EoL dates

friendly" distribution to making FreeBSD available on Amazon's
EC2 infrastructure. For more information about these Third
Party Projects see:</p>
