% /sbin/sysctl -a |grep fpu_present
machdep.fpu_present = 0

I kind of expected that, though. All things point to the box being a 
486SX. The only area where it says different is the dmesg header that says
cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor)
cpu0: Intel 486DX (486-class)

Every other thing I looked at indicates I don't have any fpu capabilities, 
and must rely on math_emulate.
