My modem is on COM3 (sio2) and has IRQ 7 and port 3E8. 2. I'm trying to use ftp to install FreeBSD on a 3.4 G wd drive set up with EZ-Drive software, with partitions of 2.1G (boot/master) - drive c and 2.1G - drive e and origional 160M drive as a slave - drive d on Dell 486 ME. DOS 6.02 on c; Windows 95 on e; nil yet on d. CD-ROM on f. 3. I've made the boot floppie and have sorted out all conflicts but two: my system shows the keyboard and mouse both on the same port 'though with different IRQ's and registers conflict. re 1. FreeBSD expects com3 to have IRQ 5 (but I have soundblaster on 5) not 7; though the port is as expected. No com3 option is present in the ftp screen for installation of FreeBSD. Do I custom configure first and then will com3 and the modem be found? re 2. Will FreeBSD install with this setup? re 3. Can I leave this port address conflict? many thanks for your time, Sincerely, Catherine Odlum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
