RTEMS and NTP

+ +

The RTEMS startup routine waits until a time synchronization packet is +received from an NTP server. This causes the RTEMS intialization to loop +endlessly if there is no NTP server on the network. +This problem has been fixed in the CVS version by allowing the initialization +to time out after a minute or so and to set the IOC time to January 1, 2001.
