Have you checked the MATH_EMULATE option in the kernel config?
If you don't have a numeric coprocessor or a 486DX, you'll want
to enable this option, else kill it.  If in doubt, put it in,
it does no harm if you don't need it except increasing the size
of your kernel.

Also, make sure you have a "device npx0" line:
device		npx0	at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr
