From dmesg, WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance. Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0p2 [rw]... uhub0: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered warning: no time-of-day clock registered, system time will not be set accurately msk0: link state changed to DOWN However, I tried the following steps: 1) ran ntpdate to set the correct time 2) powered down 3) unplugged the network cable 4) booted and noticed that the real time is still correct.
See r301306
Andy points out the time is taken from the fs shutdown in the absence of a RTC which is what I'm observing here.
