>Description:
      ntpd looks for the device /dev/wwvb0 when using the SPECTRACOM NetClock/2 reference clock.  The device is a link to the serial port that the clock is attached.  To create the link I added the line 'link cuaa0 wwvb0'.  On boot, ntpd can not find device but device exists after boot.
>How-To-Repeat:
      
>Fix:
      I solved it by changing devfs to run before ntpd.  I do not know if this will cause problems as I don't know why devfs is started so late in the boot process.
