Why are you loading asdf.lisp? (require :asdf) should load the
precompiled version.  It is a bug that loading it causes a division by
zero, but let's try to get something working for you.

Can you go to trac.common-lisp.net/cmucl and select an appropriate
version?  Ideally, get the 2015-07 snapshot.  Download both the main
tarball and the extra tarball for your system.  Create some temp
directory and extract both tarballs there.   Then run bin/lisp
-noinit.  Then enter (require :asdf).  This should work.

Let us know if it doesn't!
