FPE is mentioned in the FAQ. I guess I need to make it a little clearer
that the 1.1 kernel does not include FPE. However, all -current kernels
do include FPE. Check out the FAQ to find the location of an FPU-less
math library which is also quite useful for running NetBSD on an FPU-less
machine.
Later.
