:FWIW, I set up the RTC_OFFSET=360 in order to cope with a dual-booting PC.  
:I don't remember having to do anything special about dst.  (Can't you also
:tweak it manually via a sysctl if you don't want to change the kernel &
:reboot?)

IF you are dual booting with some Microsoft OS then you may want to use
RTC_OFFSET.  Should you get into daylight saving you'll need to readjust:
either recompile with adjusted RTC_OFFSET or

% gdb --write /netbsd
(gdb) set rtc_offset=360
(gdb) quit
%
(and reboot)

Or what ever the appropriate minute offset is (instead of 360)
