I decided to test the 5.0 ISO today. It turned out bad.
I have a dual PIII 800MHz with an Advansys SCSI controller with two Plextor
CD drives. The reader drive is device 0,6,0 and the writer drive is device 0,4,0. 
I can boot the CD from the reader drive but when it gets to the part where
it's going to load the kernel I get an error saying the kernel could not be
found.
I decided to create a floppy instead. I used the floppy images from the CD
and created kern and mfsroot. I booted and went to the configuration part.
After the partitioning I was asked if where I wanted to install from. I went
for FTP via firewall and tried to get an IPv6 address from my router - no
luck. The router works and I when I use freebsd current on my other disk
there are no problems with IPv6.
So I went on with normal IPv4. After saying yes to the fact that I 'really'
wanted to go on the installer tries to create the filesystem. Somehow it
decides to look for device '/dev/X' and fails. After this I rebooted...

The motherboard is an Asus P2B-D and the disk is a Seagate IV 80GB IDE.
Motherboard BIOS revision is 1013.


I hope this helps those creating the ISO's.
