The right answer is to use the POSIX monotonic clock. At rc.S time, this likely means we'd need something written in C and installed to /bin. If that cannot be done, it is best to just drop this functionality. It will give false results quite often if it is based on the wall clock (which we set at rcS, and also during rc2.d when ntp/ntpdate/chrony runs). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
