The TS-7800 uses a generic RTC driver, we just plug in some routines to 
read/write the RTC. Although there seems to be descrepency with regard to the 
kernel dev entry(/dev/rtc0) and the dev entry hwclock expects(/dev/rtc). 
Basically you can just create a symlink. It should be there already on the 
filesystems we ship....

Eddie
