Subject:   /boot/loader fails to reset AMD K6-II FPU

Hello,

this may be a BIOS/Mainboard issue, so I ask here
before filling out a PR.

When I reboot the system from the /boot/loader
command line (with `reboot'), the system is
being resetted, the kernel loads and starts,
and when the FPU is being initialized the kernel
traps.

Can anyone reproduce this?

At least this CPU seems to be affected:

  CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (400.91-MHz 586-class CPU)
    Origin =3D "AuthenticAMD"  Id =3D 0x58c  Stepping =3D 12
    Features=3D0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX>
    AMD Features=3D0x80000800<SYSCALL,3DNow!>
