[time-nuts] Oncore UT+ and NTP configuration

[Bruce Griffiths]

ntpd.conf fragment (there are subtle differences due to renaming of 
serial ports in FreeBSD 8.0) for nanobsd (FreeBSD8.0) attached together 
with kernel config file.

The hints:
      hint.atrtc.0.at=
etc
at the end of the net4501.hints file need to be added.
