I am not running Linux.

On NetBSD, by default, in the absence of a hardware clock, the system
clock is initialized to the last sync time of the root filesystem.  I
gather that this is similar behavior to what fake-hwclock does.  But, I
thought that in general waiting until the clock was known to be right
was good strategy.

(Also, I don't understand why bad times are a problem, because it seems
that archive records from the hardware have hardware timestamps.  But,
with a 1.5h power outage, I experienced what I think was recording those
records at the wrong time.)
