I had a similar problem shortly after installing 6.0.7 on my SE/030.

I don't remember exactly what I was doing at the time, but I received the
error about the not being able to find the coprocessor.  However, I *do*
have a coprocessor on my system, hence this error bothered me a little
(for about thirty seconds).

I just rebooted and everthing appears to be ok, I haven't had the error
since.
