# sysctl kern.timecounter
kern.timecounter.choice = clockinterrupt(q=0, f=100 Hz) TSC(q=-100, 
f=996876440 Hz) i8254(q=100, f=1193182 Hz) dummy(q=-1000000, f=1000000 Hz)
kern.timecounter.hardware = i8254
kern.timecounter.timestepwarnings = 0




This is exactly the same as comes up with a GENERIC (non-MP) kernel. But 
the time works correctly. Is there a way to change this so the time 
works properly with MP kernels?
