Heh.

On looking at my machine, I find, in printenv output,

boot-command        " /PowerPC,60?" select-dev B1BD50 encode-int " 
timebase-frequency" property 5000 ms catch 500 ms boot boot

which it occurs to me actually might not be getting used, depending on
exactly what circumstances OF uses that setting under.  I'll see if I
can't figure out what's going on from there.

Many thanks for the pointer.
