   The problem is the use of mixed quote-ing [" '] attempting to run 
   a process instead of the expected constant " ".

   try instead:
   ntpdate_flags=`echo \-bs;awk '/^server|^peer/{ print $2 }' /etc/ntp.conf`

Nope.  The code in /stand/sysinstall that updates rc.conf files -- which I
just went and read -- will rewrite this to be:

 ntpdate_flags="/^server|^peer/{ print $2 }"

At least that's what I think it will do, I didn't actually run it.
