Using FreeBSD2.0 on an AT486 (Hippo DCA2 mainboard with 16MByte,
Microid Research BIOS) I get at boot time the message
RTC BIOS diagnostics error 3
It seems to be caused by this board or BIOS because I do not get the
message on an older board with AMI-bios.
FreeBSD works, and even time and date are correct. But what do this
message like to tell me?
