Ah.  That's a problem then.  Hmmm.  If I had to do that I would set
up rc.local to run rdate and do something similar in DOS/Windows.  I
assume there is some program out there that does the same as rdate.
Of course this depends on being connected to a Unix system on bootup
so it may not help you.  I guess you could just run the date command
on bootup and set it manually every time you reboot but that's ugly.
