On my 386 with no math coprocessor I'm getting a "Fatal trap 9"
when I try to boot off of the 3.0 installation floppy.  I had
no problems booting off of the 2.2.7 floppy.  The errata
page mentions that use of GPL_MATH_EMULATE causes a fatal
trap on startup.  Was the installation floppy compiled with this
option?  If so, are there plans to release one compiled with
just MATH_EMULATE?

Thanks,

Jason
