And here you go again. X-)
Yes, the bios clock can be set to local time, or to utc time, or to
martian time, or whatever. Doesn't matter. The only thing is that the bios
doesn't know what type of time it is! That's all. You set it to local
time: fine. You set it to UTC: fine. Martian: fine. But don't try to ask
the bios which time it has, it knows nothing. It's _you_ who know which
time it keeps.
So, _you_ set the bios to martian time, then _you_ tell the system to mind
that the bios has martian time. Only make sure that it is correct.
Capishi? :-)
