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 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?
