Hi, Any ideas why the bootloader prints a 'error: stack overflow' message and request user confirmation to load the kernel manually? $ uname -a FreeBSD marina.localdomain 8.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE #1: Wed Feb 16 03:38:23 EST 2011 root@:/usr/local/freebsd8/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC.ndebug amd64 Thanks, Etienne
