Hello,
my PC is hosting both freebsd and DOS. DOS is using the Real Time Clock
as the local time, while freebsd is adding a difference of two hours, as
if it is assuming that the RT clock is running on GMT. Is there a way to
tell freebsd to use the RT clock with any offset? (I hope this is no
FAQ, if it is, please point me to the right FAQ, thanks and sorry)

Many thanks in advance,
	Axel Thimm.
