It's a crappy motherboard and I need to disable npx0 for my 486/75 to start up without panic'ing. (I've tried kernels with and without options MATH_EMULATE). The machine prevously had 3.4 on it and I was able to disable npx0 in kernel.conf or the config editor. Now, no matter where I try to disable npx0, it is still probed on boot and the machine panic's. I have verified that it is disabled by doing a ls in the config editor (boot -c). I'm looking for some advice on how to get this box back up and running. Please include me in the reply.
