I hope someone can help me. I've just installed FreeBSD 3.2 on a machine that I intended to be a local network gateway, but the darn realtime clock is gaining 11 seconds per minute! I've used the generic kernel, then several kernels that I compiled, trying various settings such as emulated math processor and not, all to no avail. The clock appears to gain 11 secs/min. The REAL clock is doing nothing of the sort, however. No matter how far off the FreeBSD system is, as soon as I boot to BIOS the time is correct again. I still have Win98 and RedHat linux on this box as well, and none of them have such a wild time drift, more like 1-3 seconds per day. Any help is appreciated! This is on a real Pentium 90 CPU which I've been using for about 5 years with no problems, if that has any bearing on the problem.
