Oh. Intel. Those of us on the platforms list don't find Intel very interesting, except as a reference port for validation. Let's see, I'm betting you took out the "device npx" line from your kernel config before you ran "config' on it, so you don't have an entry point for floating point in hardware or emulation in software... am I close?
