Subject:   Using float emulator on a system with FPU?
Message-ID:  <19990712112802.A4800@cons.org>

Moin,

I'm going to work on FreeBSD's floating point support, but I need to
test my changes on systems using the FPU emulators (non-GPL and GPL). 

Is there any way to use these emulators on a system that has a
hardware FPU?

Guessing from LINT's comments, you had to leave out npx and include
one of the emulators, but -current's config refuses to config a kernel
file without npx support.

I also tried to add "disable" to npx's config line, which compiles and
runs ok, but still uses the hardware FPU (timing and exception test). 

Martin
