The unfortunately there isn't currently an option to do that. A root CA is
created using either the 'req' or the 'x509' utility and neither have an
option to explicitly set the start date.

Its not hard to add an option to either of these utilities to allow a start
date to be explicitly specified.

You might be able to use OpenSSL 0.9.8-dev for this too: it can use the 'ca'
utility to create a root CA.
