It did not fail on my 386bsd 0.1 with and without patchkit. I don't really know if it actually uses the 387 or not. I don't even know if it FreeBSD 2.0 actually works using my 387 because it did not give me a chance. It detects it, but rejects this chip saying output error. I don't mind having misleading error messages as long as I've the option of overiding them. I don't like this automatic install and test on FreeBSD 2.0. It should be able to allow me to do manual install. Disclaimer: I only speak for myself. SABAH is Heaven.
