'hwclock' contains this fragment:

	ebegin "Setting system clock using the hardware clock [${utc}]"
	if [ -e /proc/modules -a ! -e /dev/rtc ]; then
		modprobe -q rtc || modprobe -q genrtc
	fi

But there are no such modules at all :-) I have installed openrc since 
april, but have got time-related problem only now.
