I don't think this is really the problem. It's more the mount point
that is badly marked. Not the files in the filesystem.

I will try to test this (*sigh*, gotta reboot again.. :))

I guess a good procedure would be:

reboot
BIOS(setdate(1999.12.31.11.58))
boot windows
'touch' c:
look date
reboot fbsd
look date

no?

see ya
