I did not fully understand you. Does or doesn't the BIOS get the right time after the system is shutdown?
In any case, there are hw K scripts: [18:17:27 /tmp]$ ls /etc/rc?.d/*hw* /etc/rc0.d/K25hwclock.sh /etc/rc6.d/K25hwclock.sh /etc/rcS.d/S50hwclock.sh [18:22:27 /tmp]$ Note that your system somehow got S instead of K for rc0 and rc6. I am running unstable.
