If you can actually manage to get it installed, it is just as stable
as FreeBSD/i386.  Most embarassing problems are in the
install/bootstrap area.

If you decide to try it, I'd suggest installing 4.0-release and
buildworlding your way to -stable.  When you do this, copy the
original (4.0-release) /boot/loader over what installworld installs.
