    On second thought... if "date" never changes the date/time at all... (I
    personally have never experienced situations that bad...)

    Buy a new NVRAM chip (with internal battery). I would buy from MemoryX. It
    is pretty unique in size and appearance. Just open up your system (with
    power off) and remove the old one, replacing it with a new one. I can't
    remember exactly what happens when you power it up again, I believe the
    OBP recognizes invalid NVRAM contents (and clears/resets them?). Then you
    can use OBP commands and/or "eeprom" Solaris command to change values.

    Sorry for wasting everyone's time and bandwidth.
