There are two main sources of timing in PCBIOS hosted Etherboto: the
18.2 Hz clock (currcicks) and the one-shot timer that's clocked at 1.1
MHz or something close (udelay). Insert little code segments in
Etherboot to call currticks or udelay respectively in a loop and print
something every second.  That will tell you which timers are working.
