This problem didn't occur when I last checked the RC1 installer image.
Sounds like a hardware problem. I wonder if removing and then
reinstalling the NSLU2 battery will solve the problem [1] (search for
rtc on the page). Alternatively, you could boot the Linksys firmware,
and then try the installer again.
