  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
