hwclock seems to be broken for some macs.  My Quadra 950 will hang if
hwclock is in the startup script.  Fortunately Ctrl-C will allow the
startup to continue.  I haven't had time to debug this, but I suspect
that Apple does not have a standard way of addressing the clock, as my
IIci does not have a problem with hwclock.
