Hi,
First of all, I'm really impressed with 4.0. Very few problems on both of
the home boxes I've tried it on...
My one question is this. I bought a cheapo ($250) E-Machines box with a
Cyrix MII-333MHz chip. Install was flawless, and it's been working great,
but looking back at 'dmesg' I see that it thinks the processor is running
at 250MHz. BIOS reports it as 333 at startup (AMI winbios, btw).
Here's the top of dmesg:
FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #3: Wed Apr 12 01:31:10 EDT 2000
root@bigpoop.fasttrackmonkey.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/BIGPOOP
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193140 Hz
Timecounter "TSC" frequency 250048177 Hz
CPU: Cyrix 6x86MX (250.05-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "CyrixInstead" Id = 0x601 Stepping = 1 DIR=0x1453
Features=0x80a135<FPU,DE,TSC,MSR,CX8,PGE,CMOV,MMX>
real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes)
avail memory = 29810688 (29112K bytes)
Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc02f4000.
Preloaded userconfig_script "/boot/kernel.conf" at 0xc02f409c.
Any ideas?
On a completely unrelated note, the BIOS on this box has a big
"E-Machines" splash page, anyone know if it's possible to dump the bios,
modify, and reflash without a burner?
Thanks,
Charles
