My name is Yiannis Spyropoulos and I'm working for BT Labs. Part of my current project
is using a Cyclom-Ye SM8 Serial Ports Board on a machine that runs FreeBSD3.2. I found
at the LINT configuration file that the FreeBSD3.2 kernel supports this kind of hardware through
the 'device cy' option. So, in my kernel I added the line 'device cy0' (since I use a PCI card) and
under the directory /dev I created the devices ttyc0 and cuac0. However, after re-installing the
kernel and rebooting the system, the booting sequence stalled after the hardware probing. I would
be greatly grateful if you could give me any advice. I have already contacted with the Cyclades
Support Team and they say that the built-in kernel drivers should work normally.

Thank you in advance,

Yiannis
