>Description:
The profile clock on sun4m is broken, which yields this result, for one example:
Running top shows this...
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  0.0% idle

The clock hardware which is responsible for these CPU states is not initialized properly and therefore does not work at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run any NetBSD-1.5ZC kernel on a sun4m machine, from sources since March 18, 2002.
>Fix:
Here is a patch:
