Hi, I wonder if someone can help me.

I had previously installed FreeBSD on a 386DX33, which seemed to 
run with no problems.  Last weekend, I decided to replace the 386
motherboard with a 486DX33 motherboard that was running DOS. The
problem is, on bootup I get an error message which goes something
like: 

	npx0: Error reported via Exception 16

THe 386 had no maths-co., so I just received the usual emulator
message while starting up. I had at one point in time run 386bsd 0.1
on the 486 and had no problems, which makes me think it has something
to do with FreeBSD, rather than hardware, but I could be wrong.

If anyone could throw some light on this it would be much appreciated.
