Ignore mount time[No solution needed, ignore this one]

Hmm, for some reason when i went into BIOS it had the correct time. Ignore this for now.

I got a old bad server, which unfortunately got no CMOS battery, so as fast as the power goes down and up again, it reboots nicely, but stops at startup and says that the mount time for the hard drive is in the future.
There are a few alternatives:
Make it so that it ignores mount time.
Never change the bios clock, so that when i boot the computer the clock is the lowest date the bios can go when booting.
Set the time before mounting.

The second option is the easiest, but it could easily be thwarted, if i remount the hard drive at any time it will be worthless, which means no reboots. No idea if it will work at all, as if it boots exactly as fast every time the mount time will be the same time every time.
I bet the first option is the easiest and nicest, a quick google turned up nothing but i bet I'll have to do some more.
