Thanks for the info.  But weird thing is that I did set the CMOS 
     clock, and still getting the incorrect time.  I get the correct time 
     in DOS mode.  And now the weirdest thing is that it is 3 hrs ahead of 
     my time(looks like 2 hrs from Pacific to Central time zone + 1 hr of 
     day light savings time).  The NetBSD still thinks that the CMOS time, 
     I set is the Pacific standard time).  Any comment?

You are simply overlooking the obvious... you have to set the time 
using yout CMOS setup program in order to set your internal 
battery-backed up clock.
     
Type the date command to see what timezone it says you are in and make 
sure it is right.  If so, note the difference b/w the time it says and 
the real time.  Then go into your CMOS setup program and adjust the 
time by that delta value.  Notice that the CMOS time is not going to be 
your wall clock time because it is running in GMT (I think.)  I also 
think you should disable any daylight savings misfeature present in 
your CMOS setup if one is present.
     
This is basically what I did about a year ago and it has been fine 
since.
     
Also man timezone and/or grep around for timezone in the man pages.  If 
you have it set wrong.  You will end up setting the /etc/timezone 
simlink to point to the proper descriptor file.  Get that set up 
correctly first.
     
Gee... has this timezone stuff been added to the setup proper yet?  I 
thought it strange when installing 0.9, that I did not get to set the 
timezone.
