Hi Kurt,

I don't think there is a hardware clock on the device, though I could
be wrong. I bet the vendor firmware has NTP on by default, though. You
can enable it on FreeBSD by placing these lines in your /etc/rc.conf:

ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES"

Then either 'service ntpd start' or just reboot.

-nd.
