In my attempts to move to NetBSD 1.2C, I've just built and attempted to
boot the most recent kernel...

SUP 8.26 (4.3 BSD) for file supfile at Feb 25 00:49:22
Last update occurred at Mon Feb 24 22:37:47 1997 for collection current

after what looks like a perfectly normal boot up just after the apm0
configuration, I get the following errors:

WARNING: preposterous time in file system
WARNING: file system time much less than clock time

followed by my system locking up.  no other output to the screen.

any suggestions as to what could be the problem?  any requests for more
information? :)
