If you just comment out the call to resettodr() in boot()
that will avoid setting the H/W clock at shutdown.

I did that on the sun3 because I often sit in DDB with
interrupts disabled, which makes the clock miss ticks.
Setting the clock with date still works, because that
calls resettodr() more directly.
