When/where do you get this error?

The kernel on the CD is compiled to support the VERY OLD machines
starting from i386.
I may remove the FPU emulation support, though, to save some bytes on
the el torito bootfloppy. So, it won't run anymore on a plain i386
without an additional FPU (i486 and up should be OK).
