Hi,

I'm running a server on the latest FreeBSD 6.2 from the RELENG_6_2  
sources.  My SMP kernel sees my CPU (in dmesg) as:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6300  @ 1.86GHz (1870.39-MHz 686- 
class CPU)

I am unable to start powerd, however, as I get the following error:

Starting powerd.
powerd: lookup freq: No such file or directory

On closer examination of the sysctl -a output, there are no  
dev.cpu.X.freq values set.  Any ideas what is going on here?

Cheers,
Daniel
