<para>My kernel compiles fail because
<literal>_hw_float</literal> is missing. How do I solve
this problem?</para>

<answer>
<para>You probably removed <devicename>npx0</devicename> (see
&man.npx.4;) from your kernel configuration file because you
do not have a math co-processor. The
<devicename>npx0</devicename> device is
<emphasis>MANDATORY</emphasis>. Somewhere inside your
hardware lies a device that provides hardware floating-point
support, even if it is no longer a separate device as used
in the good old 386 days. You <emphasis>must</emphasis>
include the <devicename>npx0</devicename> device. Even if
you manage to build a kernel without
<devicename>npx0</devicename> support, it will not boot
anyway.</para>
