Hi-
IMO this thread has gone on long enough. However, since I'm hypocritical,
I'm going to post one (and hopefully only one) message regarding it.

Had you booted the Win side first, then the FreeBSD side, you would have
seen FreeBSD trying to move the clock ahead "2" hours. It knows it hasn't moved
the time ahead yet so it adds 1 hour to the current BIOS time, which had
already been moved ahead by the previous OS boot.
You'll see

Lack of people to update them. Then people complain when they get out

On most servers, I cannot get a make -j 4 buildworld to go all the
way through, have to do make buildworld. Now on one server that
was cvsupped this weekend, with a make buildworld, it dies on
