Yes, the IRQs are configured correctly.
I didn't touch /etc/rc.serial, nor did I do anything from UserConfig.
Here's what I did:
(1) set jumpers on the card for COM3 irq 5
(2) rebuilt the kernel to use sio[0-3] (for COM3)
(3) installed new kernel and rebooted
I have COM2, 3, and 4 open but FreeBSD didn't see the card at any
of them
