You need to install a floating-point emulator.  djdev202.zip comes with
emu387.dxe;  make sure it is installed on your 486SX, and point the EMU387
environment variable to the full path of emu3876.dxe.  Then it should
work.

Your system already knows that it doesn't have a coprocessor.  That's why 
it complains.
