Yes, that seems to be the problem. I'm using wifi (wpa_supplicant, etc) 
and I'm gonna guess that it's not completely up and running (ip 
configured, etc) before the ntpdate command fires. I did nslookup on 
2.netbsd.pool.ntp.org and added four server lines to /etc/ntp.conf using 
those ips. I commented out the pool line and no error.

Is there a way to ensure the network's completely up before ntpdate is 
allowed to run? I hunted around for solutions and found some that didn't 
do the job.

Thanks,
Will
