workaround for clock problem
Jay,
From another friend of Alpha, I learned about the 'cycle=' boot flag.
So, from the SRM console before booting, I modified
>> set boot_osflags "root=/dev/sdb1 cycle=500000000"
then booted. So long as I don't change my processor on this machine, I
should be set until such time as the problem is corrected in the kernel.
SRM is really nice, and Linux is great!
