Hillarious, especially given that the FreeBSD nuts have gone to
exceptional lengths to try and calculate the CPU clock frequency.  The
NetBSD guys won't try to do that because on most iAPX86 CPUs it's
impossible to do "correctly"!  :-)

BTW, on at least recent NetBSD machines the answer is quite simple:

	less /var/run/dmesg.boot
