The answer was most identical :
Here is the procedure we got from DEC to fix our DEC 3000 300 with
wrong year problem. It works on our system.
The problem with changing the year is that the year is stored in the
boot block on the system disk. The method given to change this is to
change the system date in single-user mode, and rewrite the boot block
using 'mount -u/'.
#shutdown -h now (halt the system)
>>> BOOT -FL S (system boots to single user)
#date
Wed Dec 14 13:18:26 EST 2036
#date -n 11081320.0095 (monthdayhourminute.year)
#date
Wed Nov 8 13:20:04 EST 1995
#mount -u /
#sync
#sync
#halt
>>>BOOT
It is important to do this in EXACTLY THIS SEQUENCE.
