You missed the most important configuration information. Which CPU
and floating-point processor are you using? Perhaps your floating-
point is buggy (you won't notice this under DOS). In that case, you
can try to boot with `-c', and disable npx0. This should give you the
floating-point emulator instead. Perhaps things are working then (but
perhaps you have to repeat the installation).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
