Subject:   2.2-ALPHA hangs while calibrating clocks...

Hello,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA on my machine. Here is
configuration:

* MB SOYO Intel Triton HX, Pentium 120MHz, BIOS Award
* 64MB RAM EDO, pipeline burst cache 512k
* HDD IDE WDC32100 (2.1 GB) LBA mode 4, floppy drive etc...
* 3c509 ISA ethernet adapter (ep0)

The kernel is, of course, GENERIC 2.2-ALPHA.

So, the installation itself goes well (although I used 2.1.6 install
floppy), and then, after rebooting with newly installed system, it hangs
almost forever (at least for 15 minutes :-) ) saying:

Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock...

and then says it failed.

So my question is: do I have a broken motherboard? Are there any options
in kernel config that I should change in order to avoid this looong
waiting? 

Thanks for help

Andy
