Yes, this is most likely your clock(s) being off.  At installworld time,
it should *not* start rebuilding your loader.

Usually this happens if you build on one machine, and install on
another, while the install machine's time is behind the build machine's
time.  But it can also happens on one machine, for instance if you
start in single user mode, and the clock is not yet synchronized.
