SoftwareInReview, well, reviews FreeBSD 6.1, and concludes: "Overall I found FreeBSD 6.1 to be another step in the right direction, and I think it's encouraging that there weren't any revolutionary base system changes in this release. Sometimes big changes are unavoidable, but historically the FreeBSD team has bungled such leaps as the switch to the ULE scheduler, the introduction of SMP, and the liberation of the base system from the big giant lock. Sometimes you have to stop and make sure that what you presently have is working properly, and it looks like now is that time for FreeBSD. I applaud their efforts with 6.1 and look forward to testing 6.2."

It has solution to deal with disc switching, but it is not suitable for beginner! User must have experience how to custom install FreeBSD and portupgrade
1) Select only must install "base" + "ports". Then, reboot
2) After reboot:
mkdir /usr/ports/packages
put FreeBSD 6.1#1 in CDROM drive
mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom
cp -Rpv /cdrom/packages/* /usr/ports/packages
umount /cdrom
repeat last three steps to copy FreeBSD 6.1 Disc 2
cd /usr/ports/packages/All
pkg_add portupgrade-2.0.1_1,1.tbz
rehash
portupgrade -NPP <port-name-your-want-to-install>
# note: your can go to sysinstall to look which packages your want to install from CD and write down the name which ports you want to install
