I said it'd be out on 8/23, and it's still 8/23, here... 8-)
NetBSD 0.9 is now available for public consumption.
It is possible to upgrade from 0.8 to 0.9, and tools are provided
for this purpose. If you wish to switch to NetBSD from 386bsd, you
must install from scratch...
Some FTP sites where it is, or will soon be available:
agate.berkeley.edu:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-0.9
ftp.iastate.edu:/pub/netbsd/NetBSD-0.9
(also via AFS by the path:
/afs/iastate.edu/public/ftp/pub/netbsd/NetBSD-0.9 )
ftp.eecs.umich.edu:/software/BSD/NetBSD/NetBSD-0.9
grasp.insa-lyon.fr:/pub/mirrors/NetBSD/NetBSD-0.9
Get the INSTALL_NOTES and the LAST_MINUTE file; both are important.
Also, the original distribution which mirrors picked up had
a corrupted gsrc09 distribution. This was fixed, and you can
tell if your favorite ftp site's version is the fixed one
by whether or not it has a file named FIXED in the
.../NetBSD-0.9/source/gsrc09 directory.
an abbreviated list of changes from 0.8 to 0.9 is included below.
enjoy!

fixed the amazingly shitty ethernet performance with cheap Western
Digital cards. (mycroft)
the /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/rmaouthdr script was not executable,
which caused 0.8 to have a broken bootwd (deraadt)
segregated GNU software in the standard dist. from the rest.
it's now in /usr/src/gnu/* (cgd)

work/fail. now must open /dev/mem to get access. (cgd)
apply patch from Jagane D. Sundar <jagane@netcom.com> to allow
NFS-mounting of ISO 9660 (isofs) filesystems, and to
fix a few small isofs bugs. (cgd)
have config make kernel compilation directoris in
/sys/${MACHINE}/compile rather than /sys/compile (cgd)

improve kernel select mechanism further, by making setup
done by a function. put protos into /sys/sys/select.h
and clean up all of the messes it makes (cgd)
file now prints the targets of symbolic links, thanks
to John Brezak (brezak@osf.org) for the patch. (cgd)
ed: 8-bit clean; no line-length limit; regex support for NULs (alm)
sed: fixed NULL indirection (alm)
fix "cpu" declarations in kernel config files so that they
work as originally intended. this means that only
cpus for which there is a cpu declaration (see kernel
config files for examples) are supported by a kernel
compiled with the config. also, if you want the math
emulator in your kernel, you now need the "MATH_EMULATE"
option in the kernel config file. (cgd)
disklabel stuff in the kernel has been split up into arch
indep & arch dep components. no more dos stuff in
ufs_disksubr.c! (deraadt)
add packet size check for raw IP provided by Paul Antonov
<apg@apg.kiae.su>, to fix the "traceroute foohost 2000
causes panic" problem. (cgd)
Fixed packet counters in if_ec, as noted by Mike J. Fuller
<mike@sarah.lerc.nasa.gov> (davidb)

netstat, ifconfig, and libc fixes (cgd)
use the Athena "newsyslog" utility to rotate logs, rather than the
old, cumbersome method in /etc/{daily,weekly,monthly} (cgd)
replaced broken /usr/include/bitstring.h w/new version from
Mike Murphy <mrm@optigfx.com> (cgd)
added /usr/src/regress, for regression tests (cgd)
add Yuval Yarom's changes (originally for BSD/386) for advisory
record locking on NFS files. Note that this DOES NOT
support network locking, only local advisory locks. (cgd)
fix /bin/ls; is clobbered first env. var. if given no filename args
given. patch from Bob Willcox <bob@obiwan.uucp>. (deraadt)
mail.local can now use username.lock files as well as flock().
Use the -l flag in your favorite sendmail.cf file. (deraadt)
don't remake newvers and relink kernel if nothing has changed (cgd)
fix SUP to not need any version of crypt. Use "make MAKE_EXPORT=1"
to build a SUP for export. (brezak)
add patch00144: fixed compress bug with a small path[] array
from <stacey@guug.de>. (deraadt)
add patch00149: sd/cd drivers printed incorrect blocknumbers when they
hit errors. From <julian@jules.dialix.oz.au>. (deraadt)
/etc/localtime is now created from by "make distribution" (deraadt)
fixed /usr/bin/more to not play with magic numbers from executables
directly. It now uses the N_BADMAG() macro. (deraadt)
fixed lpr's dealings with magic numbers. It now no longer accesses
exec.a_magic directly, and it knows about modern "ar"
files rather than the old ones (deraadt)
use EXPORTABLE_SYSTEM instead of MAKE_EXPORT to build crypt-free SUP.
Just like the rest of the system. (brezak)
tty structures are allocated dynamically. The d_ttys field in cdevs[]
now has an extra level of indirection. The pty and com
drivers allocate pty's dynamically, the pccons driver does
not. Check out the "ttys" field in vmstat -m. (deraadt)
make sleeps during FIFO open interruptable (cgd)
various pacthes to kernel files to make things compile
with GCC-2.3.3 (proven)

of processes (cgd)
add vt300 to termcap.src (brezak)

Erik Forsberg. (andrew)
added fast symlinks. Add `options FASTLINKS' to your config file or
frob the variable `ufs_write_fastlinks' to enable creating
them. Note potential conflict with Pete Chown's ACLs (which
is currently not in our tree). And don't blame me if (though
it's unlikely) your existing symlinks all barf because they
have dirty spare fields. (mycroft)
changed aha scsi driver to reduce the card's bus-on time from the
default 11ms to 9ms. Prevents floppy drive read/write
problems during heavy scsi io. (andrew)

i386 wd controller driver: major rewrite of timeout code to use
DELAY(). added code to reset controller if it times
out. patches sent in by many people. (deraadt)

faster (and doing so will break some systems),
use 'options "DUMMY_NOPS"' in kernel config file (cgd)
multiple beeps now generate a continuous tone. also, sysbeep() now
takes a frequency as its first argument. (mycroft)
added library dependencies to Makefiles where they were missing.
(mycroft)
changed dinode.di_un to a dev_t in preparation for making dev_t larger.
(mycroft)
moved asm.h from /usr/include/sys to /usr/include/machine. (mycroft)
added CXX and CXXFLAGS and suffix rules for C++ files in
/usr/share/mk/*, with attendent Makefile changes. (mycroft)
fixed search paths for whereis. (mycroft)
fixed memory trashing bug in compress. (mycroft)
fixed various bugs in if_hp.c. (mycroft)
changed implementation of scroll lock to use sleep() and wakeup() so
it doesn't freeze all sessions. (mycroft)
fixed bug in cat re: short (usually interrupted) writes. (mycroft)
made pccons output in small chunks use ttrstrt() so it doesn't hog the
CPU. (mycroft)
made splimp() mask both spltty() and splnet(), and removed Bill's kluge
for SLIP that made spltty() and splnet() include each other.
(mycroft)
fixed handling of bad syscall numbers on 386. (mycroft)
changed `make depend' to work in two passes--one for C files and one
for C++ files. for the latter, `-+' is passed to mkdep
automatically; no need to specify it in the Makefile. (mycroft)
moved struct definitions outside of function declarations in kernel,
so GCC doesn't emit tons of warnings. (mycroft and cgd)
added -T option to dbsym to specify load address of kernel. this is
necessary for it to be able to find the blasted string it's
supposed to insert into when the kernel is not loaded at the
default address. Makefile.i386 now uses this. (mycroft)
added a way to specify the kernel load address in the config file; add
`at address' (e.g. `at 0xfe100000') to the `config' line.
(mycroft)
made GDB deal with stabs type info output by GCC 2. (mycroft)
fix from Brian Somers <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> to make
"ps -o command" work correctly (cgd)
made kvm_procread() read the swap area in CLBYTES chunks. (mycroft)
added ISOFS support for Rockridge filesystems, written by
Atsushi Murai <amurai@spec.co.jp>. (cgd)
scsi bus probing sped up by remembering if there's actually a
device at a particular unit number (deraadt)
hp300 tty devs changed to do dynamic tty allocation (deraadt)
the ifconfig aui/bnc keywords go away, use -llc0 to select
bnc/other onboard tranceiver, llc0 to select aui (deraadt)
cleaned up /etc/magic to grok new-style executables (deraadt)
removed bogus nop-like instructions put at the start of the i386
crt0.c by Bill (deraadt)
i386 wd.c now has timeout debugging code useful for seeing how slow
your controller's DIAG command really is. Enable
WDCNDELAY_DEBUG in wd.c if interested... (deraadt)
i386 if_ed.c call bpfattach() at the same place as other enet
drivers (deraadt)
bpf man page error found by hpeyerl, ok'd by mccanne (deraadt)
added -g option to dbsym to include line number and function symbols
for DDB; note that this generates REALLY LARGE symbol tables;
you'll need to load the kernel at >=1MB to use it. (mycroft)
replaced vfs__bio.c with better one derived from one from CMU.
it works better, does the right thing with buffer_map,
and, in general, is cleaner than the old one. (cgd)
added man pages for all external mount types. (cgd)
fix from J.T. Conklin to make nohup print the correct
message re: the logging file on the user's console. (cgd)
mount_pcfs moved to mount_msdos; the latter is more appropriate (cgd)
sendmail upgraded to version 8.3
added statistics counters to if_is.c,ipackets etc (paul)
ultrastore 14f driver should now work w/34f as well. (cgd)
got rid of broken toupper() and tolower() macros (cgd)
i386 wd.c change from <ws.tools.de> to fix single drive systems (deraadt)
i386 fd.c reliability fix from <ws@tools.de> (deraadt)
