+I can't boot the InstallCD!  It stops while trying to set the hardware clock.
+What do I do?
+</title>
+<body>
+
+<p>
+Unfortunately, there was a bug in some versions of the baselayout scripts.  To
+get the system booting, the hardware clock will need to be set.  To set the 
+clock boot into Open Firmware (using the key combination of Apple + O + F).  
+Once you are at the Open Firmware prompt, you can set the clock using the
+command below:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Setting the clock at the open firmware prompt">
+<comment># decimal dev rtc sec min hour day month year set-time</comment>
+<comment># The example below sets the clock to 1:23:45 June, 7th, 
2000</comment>
+ ok
+0 > decimal dev rtc 45 23 1 6 7 2000 set-time
+ ok
+1 >
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Open Firmware will return with an ok after the clock is set.  The system should
+boot normally now.  Type <c>mac-boot</c> to continue booting after the clock is
+set.
