# This is a little script to patch a 5.5 or 5.5.1 kernel to get around
# the cpu_tick_freq inaccuracy. Before running this script, one must
# know the true frequency of one's CPU; this can be derived by NTP,
# or by observing the clock relative to the time-of-day chip over a
# long period of time (the TOD will pull system time when it drifts
# by more than two seconds).
#
# Patching a kernel can render a machine unbootable; do not run this
# script unless you are prepared to accept that possibility. It
# is advisable to have a backout path (e.g. net booting, an alternate
# boot disk, an installation CD) should your machine fail to boot.
#
# This is not a product of Sun Microsystems, and is provided "as is",
# without warranty of any kind expressed or implied including, but not
# limited to, the suitability of this script for any purpose.
