My /60 is now downstairs and has network connectivity, with `dhcpcd`, `ntpdate` and `ntpd` started. While it as a stable 100 Hz time (some 2 to 4 seconds drift (being slow) per day), it won't get (or keep for long) NTP synchronization. It may get sync, but offset will get large, loose sync, ... While reading about ntpd, I noticed that it mentions to use 64bit fp values. Also noticed root@lili:/var/cache/git/NetBSD-src/external/bsd/ntp [trunk] # find|grep ieee ./dist/include/ieee754io.h ./dist/libparse/ieee754io.c I haven't really checked the code, but I've got a feeling right now...
