Hi Greg,
I got your email, but didn't get down to it yet.
On 3.4 you need to set the frequency of the relevant timecounter.
If you
grep Timecounter /var/run/dmesg.boot
and look at the *last line*, it will say either TSC or i8254.
You can then modify the frequency with the corresponding sysctl
variable:
machdep.i8254_freq: 1193182
or
machdep.tsc_freq: 400911216
and set the frequency there.
Make sure that you have APM firmly disabled in the BIOS.
7 seconds per day is 81 PPM and not atypical for PC hardware.
Consider using a newer NTP (www.ntp.org), the burst mode is
pretty good for dial-up/demand lines.
