Does it hang or just delay boot by ~60 seconds?

I'd expect dhcpcd to wait a bit before giving up (maybe like 15s), but the
ntpd startup should just happen in the background.

Maybe ntpdate is enabled and causes a DNS timeout delay (which would be 
probably 60s).

I usually prefer adding -g to ntpd_flags over ntpdate=YES, but with SoCs
that have no real time clock waiting during boot for initial time 
setting makes sense (which is what ntpdate=YES does).
