I don't know if this question is stupid, but I don't know & I'm here to = learn... but why shouldn't Kyle be using 5.0-RELEASE? Because there = have been other releases, or because of this particular machine? rjv -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org = [mailto:owner-freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Dag-Erling = Sm=F8rgrav Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 9:02 AM To: Dave Cc: alpha@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Digital Server 3300 hardware clock Dave <friend@vortex4.net> writes: > On Sat, Apr 02, 2005 at 11:49:54AM -0600, Kyle S.
