[-- Attachment #1 --]
I am attempting to configure my FreeBSD 4.0 system with a serial console.

I have read the doc at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html and changed the device entry for COM1 in my kernel configuration file as follows:

device          sio0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty flags 0x10 irq 4

When I run /usr/sbin/config -g FREEBIE config gives me a syntax error at the line with the new device entry.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
