Unlike a PC, the raspberry pi doesn't have a battery-backed
real time clock.  If you configure a kernel without the 'fakertc'
device, it will prompt you to enter the time and date when you
power on.  For me this was too annoying, which is why I made the
fakertc device.  With a network connection, the time should be
corrected by aux/timesync soon after booting.
