I made it work on my compaq armada with the following change in the
config file: device    npx0 etc, etc
to: device   npx0    at isa? port "IO_NPX" flags 0x01 irq 13 vector npxintr

Also with 2.2-BETA which I am still running, the ps2 mouse was not found.
Kazu Yakota sent me some patches which fixed this problem, let me know
if you want them.
