Serial devices in the default kernel are 0x3f8/IRQ4 ("Com1") and 0x2f8/IRQ3 ("Com2"). You may add other devices, or alter these, but you *must* make a new kernel to do it. (BTW: This comes in VERY handy for oddball configurations, for example, this machine has 0x3f8 on IRQ7 and 0x2f8 on IRQ4, although the reasoning is a LONG story I wont go into... If you absolutely need strange settings, remember that FBSD will let you put just about anything into just about anywhere!) J.A.
