Oliver, 

	Thanks for the patch, but sadly this didnt help the situation I have with my 
motherboard. It identifies the ICH9R chipset, but sadly looks like the 
motherboard company has disabled the watchdog action. I have already spoken to 
the motherboard producers and they sware they have not, but looking at the 
code I cant see any other explanation for the behavior.

	The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5  Bios F7 (latest)

Output is:
ichwd0: <Intel ICH9R watchdog timer> on isa0
ichwd0: ICH WDT present but disabled in BIOS or hardware
device_attach: ichwd0 attach returned 6

	I looked at the datasheet for the ICH9 chipset and I believe they have a 
pull-up on the speaker line that is telling the chip to disable the watchdog 
functions.
