I will fix it. The problem is that when the GPL MATH code is added, the kernel
structures change, and mess things up. I had the same problem when I was 
running FreeBSD-1.1R with the GPL Math emulator added in.

I doubt it. BTW should the file not be /etc/wall_cmos_clock and not a dot file?
Or have I got it wrong?
