The source/responsible code for the printing is in function
clock_ts_to_ct() in:
src/sys/kern/subr_clock.c
181 void
182 clock_ts_to_ct(struct timespec *ts, struct clocktime *ct)
183 {
...
214 if (ct_debug) {
215 printf("ts_to_ct(%ld.%09ld) = ",
216 (long)ts->tv_sec, (long)ts->tv_nsec);
217 print_ct(ct);
218 printf("\n");
219 }
So what's ct_debug?
52 #define ct_debug bootverbose
Are your systems booting verbosely?
