I back Guy's comment: the difference you see is indeed the time difference
between UTC and PHT.
If both your systems reboot in UTC, I would bet on the timezone you set in
sysinstall more than the RTC.

Please refer to section 2.10.8 in this (RTC in UTC - answer "yes" to the
second question):
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/install-post.html
It may solve your problems.
