All,

Does NetBSD/macppc have any way to compensate for the fact the Mac
(normally) stores local time in the hardware clock?  I set NetBSD to
US/Central timezone (ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central
/etc/localtime), but given that local time is stored in the clock,
NetBSD is now 6 hours off.  I could store GMT in the local clock (the
proper way time should be stored on a system, IMHO), but I multiboot
my mac, and all the other OSes assume localtime and adjust for
timezone accordingly.
