Thanks for trying Manuel.  Can you confirm exactly what code you tried
(i.e. HEAD, HEAD with burst patch, etc.)?  Also, is your slab a turbo
or not, and mono or colour?

I would expect the existing code in HEAD to read the correct date from
the RTC.  If you set the correct date from NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP, then
NetBSD should give the correct date at bootup.  Let me know if that
is not the case.  I'm assuming that your RTC is functioning correctly
from NS/OS?

Thanks,
Cory.
