I added the `noutc` boot code to the `kernel` line in /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/menu.lst:
default 0
timeout 10
title tinycore
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet noutc
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
Then, rebooted, verifying that the boot code is still there.
However, when I check whether the system treats BIOS time as local, not UTC, I am surprised to see that it still thinks it's UTC:
tc@box:~$ hwclock; date
Tue Nov 22 22:12:58 2011 0.000000 seconds
Tue Nov 22 22:12:58 UTC 2011
What am I missing?
