Nothing like that during boot. Dmesg output is of course completely
usable, as it is full of "cprng 461 94681 15: creating with partial
entropy" lines, so cannot know if it has happened after boot:
~>fgrep timecount /var/run/dmesg.boot

Btw, I updated the machine to netbsd 8 from 2018-02-27, and no changes
in the clock drift, but no crash yet (but it has been only up for 7
days since, so cannot say anything yet):
