Specify @option{base} as @code{utc} or @code{localtime} to let the RTC start at the current
UTC or local time, respectively. @code{localtime} is required for correct date in
-MS-DOS or Windows. To start at a specific point in time, provide @var{date} in the
+MS-DOS or Windows. To start at a specific point in time, provide @var{datetime} in the
format @code{2006-06-17T16:01:21} or @code{2006-06-17}. The default base is UTC.
By default the RTC is driven by the host system time. This allows using of the
RTC as accurate reference clock inside the guest, specifically if the host
time is smoothly following an accurate external reference clock, e.g. via NTP.
If you want to isolate the guest time from the host, you can set @option{clock}
-to @code{rt} instead. To even prevent it from progressing during suspension,
-you can set it to @code{vm}.
+to @code{rt} instead, which provides a host monotonic clock if host support it.
+To even prevent the RTC from progressing during suspension, you can set @option{clock}
+to @code{vm} (virtual clock). @samp{clock=vm} is recommended especially in
+icount mode in order to preserve determinism; however, note that in icount mode
+the speed of the virtual clock is variable and can in general differ from the
+host clock.
Enable @option{driftfix} (i386 targets only) if you experience time drift problems,
specifically with Windows' ACPI HAL. This option will try to figure out how
