And for my /etc/fstab entry:

This is just annoying moreso than anything...
Whenever I boot into Gentoo, my clock is always a few minutes off -- usually
between 5 and 7 minutes. I have to do an ntp sync to right it every time.
What is more confusing, is that XP (I dual boot my Dell i8200 notebook) is
