[ntp:questions] PPS, TRUETIME, and FreeBSD 5.x?

I have done the same thing. I remember the version of
FreeBSD should not bother. I suggest you confirm first
if you keep the same configuration as what you did
with Freebsd 4.8 box. The device that pps0 and true0
link to should be the same port you can read the time
stamp by using minicom or other com port control
tools. I used /dev/cuaa0. 

To my understanding: if you use flag3 to enable the
discipline, you do not have to enable the PPS kernel.
Also, the flag3 is preferred. 

Hope this can help.
