installer: action for the "UTC versus local time" question is reversed
0%
Description
In usr.sbin/installer/dfuibe_installer/fn_configure.c, it appears that if
you answer "Yes" to the question "Is this machine's CMOS clock set to UTC?",
the installer will add the file /etc/wall_cmos_clock, which is what should
happen if the CMOS clock is set to local time.

The behavior in tzsetup(8) is the same and probably where the installer
took it from.

I don't think I stated this well. When the installer asks "Is this machine's CMOS clock set to UTC?", I answer "No" because the machine is set to local time. However, answering "No" causes the installer to not add the file /etc/wall_cmos_clock, which causes the OS to use UTC time. If the desired result of answering this question is to make the system use UTC time rather than local time, then I guess this is working correctly and this can be closed.
