Hi everyone,

I'm a newcomer to 386bsd and XFree86!!!

I've some problem when I using 386bsd, so I hope I can get an expertise advice
here.

My configration is:
	386DX-25 mother board with 8M RAM
	287 math coprocessor run in async-mode with 386
	trident 8900b VGA card with 1M RAM
	Master hard-disk -- Western Digital 255M
	Slave hard-disk	 -- Western Digital 81M

I can install 386bsd 0.1 bin distribution and XFree86 1.2 in my machine. But
I always get error message "Floating point exception" or even a core dump when
I run programs like "ps ux" , "xman" and "editres". Could any one be kind
enough to tell me whats happen? I think it may be the problem of my 287, how
can I get ride of this? 

Thank You in Advance!!!

Gavin Ho
