After you set the clock, log into the box and type "/sbin/clock -r" and
date.  If the two don't match, type "/sbin/clock -w".  Maybe cobalt isn't
updating the CMOS clock, just the system clock (linux sets the system
clock from the CMOS clock at boot and doesn't touch the CMOS clock at all
after that).
