Nope, that's not enough.  The behavior of the program has changed
slightly.

"hwclock -a" (--adjust) only tweaks the RTC, it doesn't use the RTC to
set the system time like it used to.  You need to invoke it as "hwclock
--hctosys" to do that.  So hack /etc/init.d/boot as follows:

Before:
#
# Set and adjust the CMOS clock.
#
if [ ! -f /etc/adjtime ]
then
  echo "0.0 0 0.0" > /etc/adjtime
fi
clock -a $GMT

After:
#
# Set and adjust the CMOS clock.
#
if [ ! -f /etc/adjtime ]
then
  echo "0.0 0 0.0" > /etc/adjtime
fi
hwclock --adjust
hwclock --hctosys $GMT

That should do the job.
