Interesting. OBP has created a 'clock-divisors' property for the 
processor node. At this point the only reason that I can imagine that 
your system might not support cpupm is if the CPU driver either does not 
exist or failed to attach.

Check to see that the driver exists:

/platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/sparcv9/us

If not, then it appears that SUNWus has not been installed? Try 'pkginfo 
SUNWus' to verify.

If it does exist, then check your /etc/driver_aliases file and make sure 
that there is an entry:

us SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi

If so, check /var/adm/messages for any messages coming from the 'us' driver.
