Where should I put ntpd so it starts automatically at boot time?

For those who just want to synchronize their system clock, you don't have to run ntpd.

Just run a simple script via crontab hourly.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/ntpdate your.ntp.server.address

save the file in /etc/cron.hourly; make sure it is executable.
