There is a command line switch that allows ntpd to start on systems that have
a bogus initial date/time.
>From the man page:
-g, --panicgate
Allow the first adjustment to be Big. This option may
appear an unlimited number of times.
Normally, ntpd exits with a message to the system log if
the offset exceeds the panic threshold, which is 1000 s
by default. This option allows the time to be set to any
value without restriction; however, this can happen only
once. If the threshold is exceeded after that, ntpd will
exit with a message to the system log. This option can be
used with the -q and -x options. See the tinker configu-
ration file directive for other options.
