I recently installed 9.1-release on a sparc64 box. One of the options in bsdinstall was to use the cpu power control. I chose to use it. So I've got # grep power /etc/rc.conf powerd_enable="YES" # which doesn't seem to work: root: /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start powerd Is the following dmesg line relevant? # dmesg|grep "power management" jbusppm0: <JBus power management> mem 0x4000f000000-0x4000f000007,0x4000f410050-0x4000f41005f on nexus0 # Anyway, I wonder if powerd is only for amd64/i386 and is not supposed to work on sparc64. cpufreq(4) is not listed in sparc64 GENERIC kernel. If that's the case, then maybe it's best to remove powerd option from bsdinstall? Anton
