Hi all: Could somebody comment on the following startup messages: FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #2: Thu Mar 11 16:40:53 EST 1999 root@door.wgaf.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/DOORKERNEL2 Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: i486 DX4 (486-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x480 Stepping=0 Features=0x3<FPU,VME> Primarilly I would like to know what speed the CPU is running at. It couldn't possibly be 1MHz, could it now? ;^) I inherited the i486 computer w/o any docs, so I have no idea how fast it is. The timing frequency doesn't appear at boot-up. I borrowed a copy of Norton Diagnostics for DOS and ran it from a floppy -- it reported 102MHz.
