I have an older 486 system, running 3.4R that has a cmos clock that seems
to be unwilling to accept years out side the range 94-99. The bios seems
willing to set dates between 1994-2099, but after reboot any year not
between 94-99 is converted to {20,19}94.
What I have done is to go into i386/isa/clock.c and in the routines
inittodr, resettodr, is to add 6 to and subtract 6 from the years
respectively. I was wondering if anybody had any better ideas.
