Does the PPS signal stay at logic 1 level for most of the time and then go to logic 0 for a short time? You will require either an analog voltmeter or oscilloscope to read this data. Some GPS receivers generate a very short pulse and require intervening hardware to stretch the pulse width to something the PC can read reliably. The capture / assert configuration options does not select reading the leading or trailing edge of a PPS pulse, NTP only reads timestamps to the on the leading edge and you may require an inverter to swap polatity for NetBSD to read and sync to your PPS pulse.
