To our Japanese PC98 friends,

I apologize for sending to so many lists as I do not know the most
appropriate one.  The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is preparing to
tag the CVS tree for FreeBSD 5.1 Release.  However, it has become
known to us that the PC98 port panics during sysinstall.  Unfortunately,
we don't have enough details or resources to debug it.  We are also in
the position that we need to tag the tree and generate the i386 cd's
within the next few hours in order to meet the deadline for USENIX.
So, it looks like we need to defer the release of pc98 until this can
be resolved.  We are also in a similar situation with ia64, so it is
likely that we will do a 5.1p1 release to cover both of these platforms.
I personally apologize to all of you for this, and look forward to
having pc98 be fixed as soon as possible.

Thank you,

The Release Engineering Team
