+ # Do a clock set here for a few reasons:
+ # 1. Make creation time on udev nodes sane (FS#8665)
+ # 2. Filesystem checks can depend on system time
+ # 3. This will set the clock, if using non-UTC, off the last known
+ # configured timezone. Any new timezone put in rc.conf is copied over at
+ # a later time.
+ # This does *NOT* take into account a time adjustment file as /var may not be
+ # mounted yet. A second set occurs later to match rc.conf.
