Subject: Time different on each boot

I've finally installed FreeBSD with a partitioning setup I like.  With
each install, the timezone setup has never been correct. It always asked
if it 'looked acceptable', or something like that. At the time it did not
matter. 
Now that I finally have a partitioning setup I like, I would like to
settle this time thing. 'Date' always displays a different time with
each re-boot. It could be 4 hours slow, 12 hours slow, it's different
with each boot.

My system does not run 24 hours a day. I start it when needed. Does
this effect the setting of the time?  Are their any lines I should move
in the rc.* scripts?

Please advise

Thanks,
