Description of problem:
Right after install, during which no bootloader was configured, I recieved a
request to submit a bug report concerning "firstboot." The d"Date and Time
Module" was unable to complete its mission. No bootloader was configured because
I prefer to put /path/to/phoebe/boot/vmlinuz???? in
/redHat8.0/boot/grub/grub.conf which resides on another partition.
An error message was generated in /root/firstboot.1043287811.31
It is copied below...
