Note that an old adjkerntz is not really usable after the recent

sysctlbyname() changes, so the new adjkerntz binary should be
used while in single-user mode.

+	The machdep.* sysctls and the adjkerntz utility have been
+	modified a bit.  The new adjkerntz utility uses the new
+	sysctl names and sysctlbyname() calls, so it may be impossible
+	to run an old /sbin/adjkerntz utility in single-user mode
+	with a new kernel.  Replace the `adjkerntz -i' step before
+	`make installworld' with:
+
+	    /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/adjkerntz/adjkerntz -i
+
+	and proceed as usual with the rest of the installworld-stage
+	steps.  Otherwise, you risk installing binaries with their
+	timestamp set several hours in the future, especially if
+	you are running with local time set to GMT+X hours.
