I am brand new to FreeBSD, having become completely digusted with the Microsoft OS's.  I have tried to install FreeBSD v. 3.2 on my computer and am receiving an error message that says "PANIC:  CAN'T MOUNT ROOT!" whenever I boot up.  I tried the sloution suggested in the FAQ, with no success.  Also, when booting, I can press the F1 key to get to the boot prompt, but whenever I try to change to a directory, etc., I get a "STACK UNDERFLOW" message.  Am I doing something wrong or is my configuration incorrect?
