There is one sysctl that is related to the clock. You'll find a reference to it in LINT, I *think* near the APM stuff. I suggest you try tweaking this sysctl. As for securelevel and lack of APM in your BIOS, your response indicates the problem isn't related to either. This is as far as I can help you. If the sysctl stuff doesn't help, either someone else steps up, or I suggest you file a PR. -- Daniel C.
