Dear Mr. Perry,

1) There is no console warning during the booting

2) After boot into NetBSD login prompt, it show me the date is "Wed Jan 1
00:01:21 GMT 1997"
This problem happens after I purposely set the date to (a) Y1999 roll over
to Y2000 (b) during Year 2000, (a) and (b) can display in NetBSD -1.3.2
correctly before rebooting, after I issue "shutdown -r now" then
NetBSD-1.3.2  will report to me the wrong date.

3) May I know the exact URL? Can I apply clock.c (V1.5.3) in older version
of NetBSD (like NetBSD-1.1)?

Thanks in advance.
