Assuming that this is really a simpler question that those who have replied so far assume that it is (heh; simple), this is what I do:
In /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh, I have inserted:
--- bootmisc.sh Sat Jan 20 21:37:53 2001
+++ bootmisc.sh-pugelist Sat Jan 20 21:38:45 2001

What this does is use hdparm to force 32-bit I/O, DMA, and keepsettings, and then sync my clock to the one at helixcode now (Ximien?). This script is run in all inittab runlevels (probably not the best idea in the world), but it works for me. Maybe this can work for you, too.
