I couldn't even compile bin/sh without it.. There were undefined
divide functions..

strtod() wanted it, as called by bin/sh.

Heh. I used mdconfig to create a pre-labelled disk image, and scp'ed that
to the linux box and dd'ed it to the second scsi drive I added to the box.
ethernet is really unhappy. I tried ifconfig'ing up the fxp and got some

host saw this.. Note the extra bytes.. it looks like it would be roughly
correct if the "0900 0000" got removed.
