Thanks, per the prior response, I think a bios upgrade would be
best on this 476.28-MHz 586-class CPU. However, IBM only has bios
for models similar to this Aptivia 2170 Model 830.

rather than "sysctl kern.timecounter.method=1" I'd like to just disable
apci automatically at boot. Don't see it, how do I do that?
