Heh, never mind.  'boot -s' at the bootloader and then setting the date
properly did the trick for me.  Apparently, NetBSD doesn't like booting up
in the year 1916. ;)

Man, n.:
	An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks
e is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be.  His hief
occupation is extermination of other animals and his own pecies, which,
however, multiplies with such insistent apidity as to infest the whole
habitable earth and Canada.
