Subject: Problem with ps -u and GATEWAY with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1

When I build the kernel with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and include the GATEWAY option,
everything seems to working except that ps -u and top get floating point
exceptions.  I have the same problem when I try to use the EP ethernet
driver.  Also, if I include PPP support, ps -u works but top still gets the
floating point exception.  Netstat -i doesn't seems to work either, but it
either prints several lines of continuous numbers or says it had an ISA
error.  All this appears to me to be a problem with the data structures that
these programs are reading to get the system information.  The problems are
general enough that I suspect that I have missed something during
installation somewhere.  Does anyone have any light to shed on this?  Thanks.
