How do I set the date on an Indigo after replacing battery?

RE: How do I set the date on an Indigo after replacing battery?
I didn't think the PROMs could do any date/time functions, because they don't care about time. If you want to solve the chicken/egg problem when installing the OS with an incorrect date, I'd say once you boot to miniroot and get to INST.

Do this:

Inst> admin date mmddhhmmccyy
You can display the date again with this command:
Inst> admin date

Info was gotten from here: http://rsusu1.rnd.runnet.ru/sgi/install/...stallation

date command from admin is supposed to be same as man date(1), so I added the century "cc" to the above command as that SHOULD work...

Thanks.
