Lonnie,
I see what the problem is. If you look in /etc/rc the section that
reads the $TIMEZONE variable is in the wrong place. It should be
switched with the section right below it. I removed the section that
reads the variable from /stat/etc/TZ. No need to get it from /stat. If
it's not set, it defaults to UTC.
if [ "$TIMEZONE" ]
then
echo "$TIMEZONE" > /tmp/etc/TZ
fi
if [ -f /stat/etc/TZ ]
then
cp /stat/etc/TZ /tmp/etc/TZ
fi
if [ -f /mnt/kd/TZ ]
then
cp /mnt/kd/TZ /tmp/etc/TZ
fi
As you can see with that code, it would read the variable set in
rc.conf, then overwrite it with something out of /stat/etc/TZ if that
file exists.
