[gentoo-user] ntpd hangs at boot

[Bobby R. Cox]

Silly situation, but I just set up ntpd at work, and now I am off site trying to serial connect into a Nortel Switch.  Thing is Gentoo hangs at boot trying to sync ntpd.    Is there any possible way to get past this at boot time, or disable it during the boot.    Any advice is appreciated.  I don’t have a boot disk or cd handy either.    TIA Bobby R.
