Frequency control is not supported in your case.  You must
have dev.cpu.0.freq and so on.  What kind of processor do
you have?  Does it support "powernow", "cool'n'quiet" or
similar features?

Also, make sure that you have "device cpufreq" in your
kernel configuration.  If you don't have it, try to load
the module:  kldload cpufreq

It's trivial to make fun of Microsoft products,
but it takes a real man to make them work,
and a God to make them do anything useful.
