Solved [Solved] Create a Symlink at Boot (rc.conf)

[AlbyVA]

My NTP requires that /dev/gps0 to exist. For my needs, I have to create gps0 by establishing a symlink from /dev/cuau0. Since this needs to be done at boot time before NTP starts up, how do I create (what's the syntax) a symlink in rc.conf?

ln -s /dev/cuau0 /dev/gps0

devfs.conf() is probably where you need to do this.
