npx is the floating point math driver.  You either need it or software
emulation of an FPU.

You need isa because npx depends on it.

device npx <--- what for?

2004-08-12 Thread Jorge Mario G. 
Hi there
I'm using freebsd 5.2.1-RELEASE

I compiled my kernel without ISA and FLOPPY because I
dont have that hardware.
but the kernel failed at 
/../.../isa./npx_devclass and npx_

once I added ISA and Floppy all worked again

my questions is why do I need npx? and isa?
