Screenshot of VM with the problem

When for some reason the NTP server configured in busybox-ntpd does not resolve, this blocks the systems from booting properly.

1.25.1::musl

I am testing this with v1.34.1.

What is your NTPD_OPTS?  With the default of "-N -p pool.example.com" I cannot reproduce the issue.  I can reproduce it if I add -n, but adding -q too solves the issue.

NTPD_OPTS="-n -q -p invalid.example.com" quits after a few seconds.
