Funny you should ask. :)  I saw that, and took a look. I'm getting the
following error, from a verbose dmesg:

isab0: found ICH10 or equivalent chipset: Intel ICH10DO watchdog timer
ichwd0: <Intel ICH10DO watchdog timer> on isa0
isab0: found ICH10 or equivalent chipset: Intel ICH10DO watchdog timer
pcib0: allocated type 4 (0x830-0x837) for rid 0 of ichwd0
pcib0: allocated type 4 (0x860-0x87f) for rid 1 of ichwd0
ichwd0: ICH WDT present but disabled in BIOS or hardware
device_attach: ichwd0 attach returned 6

That's different than the error message I got before, but watchdogd
still fails. I didn't have a chance to check the BIOS settings until
today, and there is no entry for anything even closely resembling this.
The only things I actually have disabled are the parallel port, and the
"Dell Trusted Platform Module," neither of which I can imagine would be
relevant.

I'm happy to provide more info.
