This must be pretty basic PC stuff, but I'm fairly new to PCs, so bear
with me. I'm trying to add a "hi-speed" serial card with two ports to
a 486 ISA system running FreeBSD. The card allows setting of IRQs via
jumpers on the card, as well as base addresses. . I chose 10 and 11
for these ports which are supposed to be sio2 and sio3. FreeBSD
doesn't recognize that the com ports are there, though I changed the
irq for sio{2,3} via kernel -c. I reluctantly booted up DOS and ran
msd, which shows all 4 com ports (and identifies the different uart
chips correctly), but shows the ports sharing IRQs 4 and 3 (which is
common in the DOS world, I am told).
WTF? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Tim
