Booting into MacOS shouldn't be necessary. To set the hardware clock, use
the 'clock' command (man clock). To set the system clock, use the 'date'
command (man date).
If the date keeps on getting set back to Jan 01, 1904, every time you
power up, this is likely due to a dead battery on your motherboard. You
can buy a replacement at RadioScrap for about $20 CND.
