That's ok. NetBSD and 147Bug use different date Epochs. Once you have 
NetBSD running with the correct date set, the TOD clock will contain 
the correct time/date based on NetBSD's Epoch.

Ugh. I recall seeing and fixing something similar on an mvme177 under 
netbsd-current a few months ago. It was in code which should not have 
affected a '147.

I suggest trying NetBSD-4 for now until I can reproduce and fix this bug 
under 5.0/current.
