The system is running:=20

DragonFly XXXXXXX 3.1-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly =
v3.1.0.750.ge2289-DEVELOPMENT #2: Wed May 30 22:18:25 CEST 2012     =
root at XXXXXX:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_XIQIT  x86_64

When I start watchdogd, what I am getting is:=20

watchdogd: can't open /dev/wdog: Operation not supported by device

But the kernel tells me the following things:=20

ichwd0: <Intel Patsburg watchdog timer> on isa0
wdog: In-kernel automatic watchdog reset disabled
wdog: In-kernel automatic watchdog reset enabled

I can't easily find out what hardware this is; I can provide a dmesg =
dump if that is of any help.=20

Thank you!
