I warned that I wasn't sure where the seconds go. But then I keep forgetting that we live in the world where MacDonald's can be sued if they don't print in capital letters that coffee can be hot. The nookdevs wiki (thanks to :D ominic post here) has the better info.

At the end of the day, busybox date is a correct command which is much easier and better to use than what you suggested.

That's weird, I've had the busybox clock set to 1970 and nook was still booting up fine.
