[comp.sys.mips] Help! My clock is wandering!

I just upgraded by RS 2030 workstation to system 4.51.  That's a
long story in itself, but I have an even more serious problem.
During the upgraded, inst complained that the date was wrong, so
I reset it.  Later when I rebooted the system, the date was wrong
again (by a couple of days).  If I use the date command to reset
the time, it doesn't "stick."  While the machine is up, it loses
time steadily, presumably trying to get back to the original date.
If I reboot, the date gets reset by a couple of days to the wrong
value again.

I have tried using the prom monitor "inittod" command, then using
the RISC/os "date" command to set the time, but it still doesn't
stick.  I think I am supposed to use the prom monitor "date"
command to reset the time, but I have no idea how to find the
value to use with this command.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make the date stick?

Try  using the SYSADM program chose  '3 syssetup' and then 
 3 datetime       set the date, time, time zone and daylight savings time
