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... ---Jake
