Add ntpd_sync_on_start=YES and it should work.  Ntpd is most likely
panicking and exiting because it's afraid to step the clock more than
1000 seconds, which is needed on systems that don't have a battery-
backed clock and start up with a time far in the past.  Using the sync
on start option gives ntpd permission to step the clock any amount it
needs to, just one time at startup.
