Is there a way to make sure that the interface is UP and working
before running ntpdate at boot on a box with a static IP address?
After setting ntpdate_enable="YES" in rc.conf, I get the following
error on boot:
Setting date via ntp.

I've had this problem with machines using DHCP and the solution was to
use SYNCDHCP rather than DHCP in rc.conf. However, this box is using
a static IP address. But the problem seems to be similar.

I believe the easiest answer to your question is to do the following in
/etc/rc.conf:
netwait_enable="YES"
netwait_ip="$defaultrouter"
This will cause your interface to wait until it can ping the default router.
