It works perfectly here with the lines exactly as on that page. I 
have:

Set Inet$NTPserver  ntp1.npl.co.uk
RMEnsure NetTime 0 RMLoad System:Modules.Network.NetTime

added into the file !Boot.Choices.Internet.User

and I have the NetTime module in 
!Boot.Resources.!System.Modules.Network but I had to create the 
Network directory before I could do this.

I wonder if the module isn't being found in Richard's setup; what does 
*Help NetTime show?

With best wishes,

Peter.
