Sorry, my fault, I was being unclear.  Though in my own defence if you read
my message again I did say that I had no problem with the SoftwareFPU.  My
assumption was that anyone close enough to the information I needed would
see that my LC040 did not have the f-line trap problem.  My assumption was
this would be the first thing someone would suggest.  Sorry about the
article name (it was referenced by link on the netbsd/mac68k homepage "FPU
functions are not yet fully supported") and I got the info crossed.

I guess that's a good first step.  Are there any compiled mac68k kernels for
1.4 available for download?  I don't have a setup I can put one together
myself.
