I found that the freebsd system clock just stops when i shutdown or reboot the computer. what is odd is that the clock in my BIOS shows the right time, so it couldn't be that CMOS battery is dead. How do i get around this so i wouldn't have to set the clock every time i boot into freebsd? and by the way, does freebsd use the CMOS clock? regards
