Oops!  Then that is a bug in my chapter of the FreeBSD handbook..  :-(  I 
wrote that npx0 was optional if you didn't have an FPU.  But I see that 
somebody has already fixed it in the copy on the WWW page (Section 
5.3.4).  I think I did a pretty decent job with that chapter, but I did 
make five or six dumb mistakes.  Thanks for fixing them, and I guess the 
next version of the CD-ROM will have the corrected version...
