Hmm. This is what I'd been thinking might be the case. However, not all alphas use an ISA clock. We'll see. As soon as my DSL comes back up (when you'll see this mail, likely) I'll update and try and see where we're at. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
