We had the same thing happen to a windows 98 machine on a Tyan motherboard. I believe it has AWARD BIOS, I don't know what version of anything on it. To prevent such occurances from happening, you really should be running ntpdate at boot time to ensure that the clock is correct, and xntpd to keep the time in sync. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Joe Mays > Sent: Friday, September 10, 1999 12:12 PM > To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Reboot - time changed > > > We've had a couple of strange occurrences here lately that I wanted to ask > about.
