Sorry to trouble you
I am pretty much a N00b with FreeBSD, and my previous experience with it =
consisted of a Squid proxy server running on FreeBSD at work. This =
system has been extremely reliable and hence I wanted to set up a =
similar setup for my home network now that I am on unlimited broadband.

I have downloaded the  "5.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso" file and burnt it =
onto a CD. I then place it into an older PC and received the following =
error "Error: stack overflow" This line appears after the 7 boot options =
and the ASCII image of a little devil.

If I persist with keystrokes it will eventually display the OK prompt =
however the keyboard letters are replaced with windings and arte =
therefore illegible.

The system is a P200 with 32Mb Ram and 2.5GIG HDD if this helps any.

I tried searching the forums for help with little success - lots of info =
on stacks, but none on my error. Hope you can provide some assistance.
