To go back to your original question. The time is set by /etc/init.d/boot.clock when called from the various rc directories. I believe you could hack that script so it writes the hw time to a disk file before it changes anything. You might also need to either hack the script some more or rename the appropriate rc files so it isn't called until some disk is mounted.
