Copying sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC.hints to /boot/device.hints will create this situation. If you use sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints instead, then it will find the time of day clock. It seems like adm64/conf/GENERIC.hints is missing a hint for the time of day clock. I know there was a discussion on -arch a while back talking about baring the hints file down to the minimum required. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.architechture/11893 --- Mark Atkinson atkin901@yahoo.com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);
