Environment is irrelevant in this problem report - both 4.7 and 5.0
have the issue.

>Description:
Sysinstall lists tick.keso.fi and tock.keso.fi as Finnish NTP servers
- these servers seem to be unusable and the keso.fi is quite strange
organisation for time management services.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Replace the servers with time1.mikes.fi and time2.mikes.fi at
src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/menus.c

time1.mikes.fi and time2.mikes.fi are not stratum 1 servers, but the
servers are are directly synced from internal NTP servers connected to
the official Cs time normals (atomic clocks) maintained by Finnish
Centre for Metrology and Accreditation (mikes.fi) which maintains the
official time standard in Finland.

These time services are provided freely as-is, but their quality is
actively monitored, so I think those clocks are pretty good defaults
for FreeBSD sysinstall.
