A TT without battery clock? I don't think NetBSD would run if this were true.

Your hardware clock is supposed to be running in UTC (universal coordinated
time) and the /etc/localtime symlink should point to the apropriate file in
/usr/share/zoneinfo (in my case /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam).

If your clock is still running in local time because of silly ol' TOS, then
you (as root) can change it to UTC, by executing:

	date -us "$[ $(date -u '+%s') - $(date '+%s') ] seconds"
