Dear 386BSD Folks,

My computer is a 40.3 MHz 80386DX (AMD) with a Cyrix 83D87
(FasMath). When I loaded NPX Driver, I had the following
Error Messages on irq 13.

npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa
NMI port 61 a0, port 70 fa

I've looked at  /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/npx.c
and tried again with option INTEL_COMPAT. It didn't help.

It seems to me it only works with Intel Chipset.
Intel does not make 40 MHz Coprocessor.

Should I ignore this Error Messages ?
Will this problem have side effect (routing problem between
two subnetworks, etc) ?   Please help.

Thanks.
