:Hi,

:The ntpdate in /var/run/rc.log said it updated 0.3 secs and both machines

I suspect it may be that boottime is being set late.

My dmesg has:
[     6.730563] root on sd0a dumps on sd0b
[     6.730563] root file system type: ffs
[     6.730563] kern.module.path=/stand/amd64/8.99.25/modules

From my quick look, sys/kern/init_main.c:666 initialises boottime
after mounting the root file system, so "dmesg -T" is using a bad
value.
