Don't be afraid, that is  _not_ an error...  The message is misleading.  It
actually says that *if* you were to get errors from your (new) coprocessor,
they would be reported via the Exception 16.

The message appeared because you now have a  co-processor which is found by
the kernel and it just says that.

The misleading  message has been changed  in FreeBSD-current and shows that
now :

npx0 on motherboard

>any ideas anyone???  Im still runing 386bsd with the patches.

Do yourself  a favor, switch  to either FreeBSD or  NetBSD, they are both a
long way better than 386bsd. I recommend the former as I'm running it...

Go to freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-1.0 and enjoy !!
