just got 386bsd running on a 386 machine and installed all necessary
patches from the patchkit.

ps ran fine, just the load averages in the kernel got not updated. ok,
so i installed a 387 in the machine and verified it by running intel's
msdos diagnostics - fine !

after starting 386bsd, now i get a floating point exception for "ps -aux"
and the same with a nice coredump for "top" - both ran with no error prior
to the 387 installation !

did i overlooked something ?

any hints where to look ?

happy new year everyone!
