Wrong system time when booting off cd9660

Hello!
I've made a custom bootable CDROM based on 6.0-RELEASE using the following
command line (shamelessly stolen from /usr/src/release/i386/mkisoimages.sh):
mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -r -J -o cd.iso cd
I've made the following tweaks in system's rc.conf:
root_rw_mount="NO" ; update_motd="NO"
entropy_file="NO" ; entropy_dir="NO"
and in fstab:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/acd0 / cd9660 ro 0 0
System boots OK except it doesn't read system time from RTC: I'm always
getting something like "Thu Jan 1 03:00:00 MSK 1970" (actuall this system
uses /etc/localtime copied from /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Kiev; and yes,
back in 1970 it was Moscow time here ;). If I reset system time using
'date' or 'ntpdate', it actually updates RTC. Why do I have such an effect?
Sincerely, Dmitry
