It seems it was a case of a non-elegant falling over. When I finally got up
and running I sent the above message, and since it appeared to go, I assumed
all was well there. Certainly I could access everything on the LAN, and it
was quite some time before I realised that, although local traffic was fine,
I could not access the Internet.
It's somewhat disconcerting that when ntpd failed to make the connection the
whole bootup process failed. I would have wished for a failure notice then
the rest of the bootup to continue.
