Another 11.1-RELEASE install minor annoyance (ntpd)

[Kent Kuriyama]

What is happening is that your system clock is so far off that ntpd starts
up and then shutdown because the time delta is too great.

I just enable ntpdate.  In /etc/rc.conf I have the lines:

ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b"     # Causes ntpdate to step the time regardless of delta

Reboot the system, this should fix your problem.
