Nothing at all that's unique?  
- No MODPARAMS.DAT to set nodename etc. ?
- No software that runs only on that node or has a special configuration for that node (e.g. DecWindows)?

Have you checked all the LOGIN.COM files for all accounts that are used during system boot (sometimes third-party software is started under special accounts)

Also, when do you first see that the time is bad? Is it during the booting or is it when the system is accessed by users?

Throw some $ SHOW TIME commands into the startup - or better yet some output that says where it is in the startup + the time (even WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "point A - " F$TIME(), then point B ... anything that helps you identify where the time was reset.
