JFYI: sometime around here, or soon before, an old problem resurfaced
on my DragonFly box.  This is the problem, back from when the box was
running FreeBSD:

  http://makeashorterlink.com/?R2233514B

It was just never a problem in DragonFly (until now.)

I've tried both of these in /boot/loader.conf:

  hw.i8254.walltimer=1
  hw.i8254.walltimer=2

with no change ('sleep 10' takes 5 seconds to finish.)  The only way
I've found to correct the clock, so far, is to boot with ACPI disabled.

I'm updating now to see if anything subsequent has already fixed it.

Thanks,
