AFAIK, FreeBSD on AT91 doesn't assume any specific clock rate except the FSB clock rate and does the calibration of the CPU clock and xtal clock on startup. One of solutions is to add a loader tunable that will allow you to pass the FSB clock rate from the loader, instead of assuming the constant value. -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE
