Dear Mr. Christoph,

My NetBSD-1.3.2 kernel configuration is GENERIC (default) and my localtime
zone /etc/localtime is soft link to GMT+8.

My Y2K test:-
1) Set the CMOS time to 31st Dec 1999  23:58:00pm
2) Boot into NetBSD-1.3.2
3) NetBSD-1.3.2 still show the date 31st Dec 1999 and finally it rolls over
to 1st Jan 2000, it is succeed !
4) I run "shutdown -r now" to reboot NetBSD
5) Without accessing CMOS and directly boot into NetBSD, I get the date 1st
Jan 1997 :(
6) I type "date" and I get 1st Jan 1997

Any idea?
