>Description:
	

After boot, the uptime command produces inconsistent output.

Here is output from a machine that was just booted a few minutes ago:

 4:16AM  up  3:06, 1 user, load averages: 0.02, 0.08, 0.07

Here is output from an 8.0 system that has been up for a while:

 4:41PM  up 1 day, 10:22, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Here is output from a FreeBSD 7.3 system that was rebooted a few minutes ago:

 4:06AM  up 8 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.01, 0.10, 0.07

As you can see, the "minutes" field is missing from the 8.0 system that
had been rebooted recently.  The bug must have been introduced when the
XX:XX time printout was added to the uptime output.

>How-To-Repeat:

run uptime on a recently booted system.  Run uptime on a system that has been
up for a day.  Compare the results.
