Hi,
You should create file /etc/timestamp (touch /etc/timestamp). While
halting system current date will be written to this file and during
startup date from this file will be set up

You can also synchronize your machine from ntpserver after your network
is up. In /etc/network/interface, after your internet interface
configuration, add line:
post-up /etc/network/if-up.d/synctime

And write simple script:
cat > /etc/network/if-up.d/synctime
#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/ntpdate stop
/etc/init.d/ntpdate start
Ctrl+D
chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/synctime

To synchronize from other then default ntp server:
cat > /etc/default/ntpdate
NTPSERVERS="ntp.task.gda.pl"
Ctrl+D
