Ax0n,

That RTC error seems to come from a system dependent startclocks()
function, but it was modified in August by jcs@ removing the logic
that would even print that very error:
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/amd64/isa/clock.c.diff?r1=1.24&r2=1.25

Commit message mentions it's probably a red herring.

In your linked pictures it looks like you're installing a 6.2 snapshot
(older than 11 August?), but the image with the RTC BIOS error says
6.1. The plot is indeed thickening. :-)
