I have a 386, DEFINITELY no math coprocessor, and it works fine.
Most of the time when I have had these kinds of bootup problems, it has been
either a bad disk, or a disk that I failed to reformat before building a new
STN image, or some entry in the setup that was bad (like leaving the 0x off
the I/O address or something).
