Hi, had the same problem and did some investigation and put some printfs
at "the right place":
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: dt.dt_mon = 9
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: dt.dt_day = 11
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: dt.dt_wday = 248
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: dt.dt_hour = 12
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: dt.dt_min = 36
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: dt.dt_sec = 46
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: WARNING: preposterous TOD clock time
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: tv.tv_sec = 1157978134 secs
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: WARNING: using filesystem time
Sep 11 14:35:36 ipaddi-bsd /netbsd: WARNING: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!

The problem is "dt.dt_wday = 248". Taking this "sanity check" out get's things
going again.
