I already checked there. They, in theory, had the docu for the board, but
it was so outdated that none of the info I needed was there.

What a stupid suggestion to have to be made! I should have thought of that
right off! I just forgot that my *unix* box was a *pc*! This is my first
pc running unix, so I just am not in that mindset. Thanks for sugesting the
obvious -- it was so obvious it would have *never* occurred to me!

This is a reference I might just keep...
Okay. So now I have the settings (0x100, 0x0a0000), the kernel is rebuilt,
and it gets what appears to be a good response from the dgb0 during bootup.
The log says:
Mar 3 07:43:33 adam /kernel: dgb0: PC/Xe 64/8K (windowed)
Mar 3 07:43:33 adam /kernel: dgb0 at 0x100-0x103 maddr 0xa0000 msize 8192
on isa
Mar 3 07:43:33 adam /kernel: dgb0: 8 ports
This is a MAJOR advancement, here!!! (thanks)
But when I reboot, I am still getting the "Device not configured" error.
Mar 3 07:43:39 adam getty[176]: /dev/ttyd6: Device not configured
Mar 3 07:43:39 adam getty[177]: /dev/ttyd7: Device not configured
Mar 3 07:43:39 adam getty[174]: /dev/ttyd4: Device not configured
Mar 3 07:43:39 adam getty[175]: /dev/ttyd5: Device not configured
I deleted/remade the /dev/ttydX items. (was that even needed?) This is
what they look like:

I tried a chmod 666 on the ttyd items, and that didn't help, either. (if
some of my attempts at fixing this show I have no clue about where I am
going, you are right...)
What about the ttys entries. Right now they say:
ttyd4 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure
ttyd5 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure
ttyd6 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure
ttyd7 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure
ttyd8 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure
ttyd9 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure
ttyda "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure
ttydb "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure
I only have modems hooked up to the first four lines, so I am leaving the
last four "off" for now.
So... Any ideas of what isn't configured? What little tidbit am I missing,
here?
Thanks for your help so far.
