Well.

Here is my experience installing Apr 21 05:55 snapshot yesterday
night (I was running current before that but I had problem and
decided to start anew):

Installation:

   Went very well with no glitch.

   Execpt media option when using dhcp are not written as expected
   in /etc/hostname.if. (They are used to configure the interface
   for installation though.)

   /etc/hostname.dc0 contained:
	dhcp NONE NONE NONE

   Didn't cause any problem probably because dc0 driver was improved
   and auto mode did work.

Setting XFree86 4.0.3:

    SuperProbe output:
    	First Video: Generic VGA (or unknown SVGA)

    The card is really an ASUS V7700 GeForce 2 GTS (nv driver)

    xf86cfg:

        xf86cfg left me 30 seconds in front a blank sreen before
        starting X. This was plenty of time for me to panic and
        bang on my keyboard ctrl-alt-f[234] sequence to get a console
        (it didn't work) and almost get me to hit the reset button!

        Maybe a warning would be good. (Either in /usr/X11R6/README
        or on the terminal for a few second before xf86cfg starts
        his real work.

        Is that a piece of unintuitive program or what?

        The program crashed when I tried to configure the keyboard
        but X was still running. I didn't try a second time.

        The configuration file created worked correctly.

    Color Shifting Problem:

        Each time a start the X server, my wsconsole shift it's
        foreground color in a darker gray. After 3 start of the
        X server, it becomes unreadable.

        My card is not supported by XFree 3.3.6 so I can't tell if
        the problem is also present in it.

        I didn't have this problem while running XFree86's 4.0.2
        on pcvt in February.

        I restart my machine every day so it's not a big annoyance
        right now.

    I enabled xdm in rc.conf and it works great.

Ports:

    I cvs updated the port tree and I compiled and installed the
    following ports without problems:

	procmail-3.15.1		fetchmail-5.8.1
	gnupg-1.0.4p2-idea	gettext-0.10.36
	libslang-1.4.4		mutt-1.2.5i-slang
	slrn-0.9.7.0a		gmake-3.79.1
	libproplist-0.10.1	jpeg-6b
	tiff-3.5.5		png-1.0.10
	giflib-4.1.0		windowmaker-0.64.0
	elvis-2.1.4-no_x11	communicator-4.75p1
	bzip2-1.0.1		popt-1.5.1
	rpm-3.0.6		redhat_base-6.2
	acroread-4.05		windowmaker-extra-0.1


I attach my dmesg output for completeness the missing information follow:

	Mobo: ASUS A7V

        wd0 downgrading problem arise because the mobo doesn't set
        correctly the PIO and DMA mode for all my ATA/33/66 devices.
        [In Win2k, it gaves me boot device inaccessible errors. So
        OpenBSD recover and Win2k die on this problem.]


I hope this report can help.
