I invoke this function early in cpurc:

fn timesync {
	aux/timesync -nl -d /sys/log/timesync.d -a 100000 $*
	# the alpha port currently has no #r
	if (test -e '#r/rtc') @ {
		sleep 600				# let ntp do its thing
		awk '{print $1}' /dev/time >'#r/rtc'	# fix the hardware clock
	} &
}

I don't start cron until I've started venti and fossil, and that takes
long enough that timesync should have reset /dev/time by then.
