If you say Y here and create a character special file /dev/rtc with major number 10 and minor number 135 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get access to the real time clock built into your computer. Every SGI has such a clock built in. It reports status information via the file /proc/rtc and its behaviour is set by various ioctls on /dev/rtc.
