I think he refers to the fact that after a reboot, the time has to be
adjusted by n seconds, so obviously the time that FreeBSD thought it
was just before the reboot was just as far off... hence ntpd wasn't
working...
but since we don't set the TOD chip upon reboot, all the work that
ntpd did over the previous reboot is lost...
