I run openntpd and on boards without RTC I made
a /etc/init.d/setboottime using rdate that is started right after the
network comes up. After that openntpd and all other scripts find a
clock that is not at 1-1-1970 01:00. I know openntpd has an option to
set the clock before it starts but at that time I had some problems
with it so I stayed with rdate.

I used to use ntp and ntpdate -B, but as I switched to openntpd I
resolved the non-RTC issue with rdate. Remember that is just the clock
of a small board, not a stratum 1 server ;-)
