I stuck a #if 0 around kern_environment.c: init_dynamic_kenv and the associated SYSINIT. My alpha is working with mcclock fine. I thought it might be worth mentioning this if you need to get back up and running asap. Secondly, I've had to remove 'device random' because my PC164SX was locking up like crazy and running extremely slowly. I had to break into ddb to get out of the lockups. Anyway, just commenting out 'device random' and then relinking the kernel made it go back to normal. JFYI.
