How do I fix a borked, unbootable Netra X1 claiming a problem with the time-of-day

Check, and correct the system date from the console.

Once the date is set, find an alternate superblock for the disk, and run fsck against that superblock on all the slices on that disk using the following as an example (note: the disk device may be different on different machines, and the block numbers from the example will not necessarily match the output derived from your `newfs -N` run):

# newfs -N /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
