>Description:
FreeBSD v3 installs fine, after installation after kernel configuration 
with -c, v theb screen goes black several times during the boot-stage, 
then the screen displays some flashy colored characters, then I see 
the normal screen again and then I see :
init: fatal signal: Floating point exception
init: fatal signal: Floating point exception
init: fatal signal: Bus Error
last message repeated 3 times
init: fatal signal: Bus Error
last message repeated 2 times
init: fatal signal: Bus Error
last message repeated 5 times
last message repeated 12 times

FreeBSD 2.2.2 has worked great on this machine for several months.
The machine is an Intel Xpress LX server (Pentium 90) with 192Mb RAM
an on-board WD 512Kb videochip and dual channel EISA Adaptec SCSI.

FreeBSD 2.2.8 gives the same problems as 3.0

Sometimes (at random) I am able to log-on, after some time the console 
locks-up and only a hardware-reset gets me out again.
>How-To-Repeat:
just reboot
