Hello all,

I installed RC1 from the ISO image that John gave to us the other
day. Everything seemed to go OK with some VERY minor things in sysinstall.

1) I think this one has already been posted here or on -stable: the 's'
   accelerator key for the "Standard Install" does not work. You can arrow down
   and select it but the accelerator is broken.

2) When sysinstall makes the device nodes for the slice/partitions selected in
   fdisk, it says:

      "making slice entries for ad0s1"

   within a dialog box. I might be confusing the issue, but if sysinstall is
   really making ad0s1a, ad0s1b, etc. aren't those partition entries and not
   slice entries? Nit ...

Things that went smoothly:

1) Updating /etc with a burned CD of my 3.5-STABLE system (making the
   appropriate modifications or file moves in the case of sendmail.cf).

2) Everything else in sysinstall from running moused to bringing up my ethernet
   device to auto-sizing partitions within the partition editor, to ....

3) building a kernel the "traditional" way installed all modules and worked
   great. 

Of course I wasn't able to test ports/packages or X with this one, but so far
it looks really good from here.

Oh yeah: boot time of my 3.5-STABLE system; 35 seconds
         boot time of my 4.1-RC1 system with "same" kernel; 23 seconds

         yeah!

Good work to all, Will definitely play with the new ISO when it is available.

-Jr
