Assuming an x86 box, put the following in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/PPS:
#
# PPS -- Generic kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/i386 PPS
#
include GENERIC
ident PPS-GENERIC
options PPS_SYNC
and then add the following line to /etc/make.conf:
KERNCONF= PPS GENERIC
(Assuming you want "cd /usr/src && make buildkernel installkernel) to build
both kernels and only install the PPS kernel).
I also add the lines:
link cuaa1 refclock-0
link cuaa1 pps0
to the end of /etc/devfs.conf, and *sometimes* it looks like those links are
not created soon enough in the boot sequence, but it's sporadic and I have
not had time to chase it down yet.
