But, SeaBIOS should have automatically detected no TSC and then fallen
back to the PIT. And the check does work correctly with "-cpu 486" in
my tests.
Is the PIT not working for some reason in the original setup? (Any
time I attempt to run with "-M isapc" I just get an "Unable to unlock
ram - bridge not found" error.) The PIT seems to work okay in my
setup.
