Some machines (e.g. a Compaq Armada 1750) don't have the option to set the time via BIOS or set-up boot floppy.
When the time had been lost, I'd have start-up problems with fsck checking when the file system had last been checked.
Being able to set the time in grub or a program directly launchable from grub would help avoid these problems.
