[Suns-at-Home] RTC on SS10

I have an SS10 which I use as a workstation under SuSE Linux 7.1(very
smooth, fast and flexible) but the RTC is out by about 20 mins. Anyone know
how to correct this from the openboot prompt? Adjustments that I make from
the OS are lost after reboot or shutdown (only to dis/connect my dat drive).
The RTC runs and seems to keep time, so I think the battery is OK.

BTW, I have successfully overclocked the '10 from 36/40MHz to 40/50 MHz by
removing the 72 MHz xtal osc (36 MHz) and replacing it with a 100MHz osc
from an SS1+ (not in use currently.). I also have an ELC running at 40 MHz.
Both have additional cooling and have been quite stable for a year now.
