FreeBSD  2.2.6-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE #0: Fri Apr  3 10:56:14 EST 1998     root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/JIZMAK  i386
(GENERIC + flags 0x80 to sio[12])
>Description:
Oops, can't find my serial ports.  PnP is disabled.  Ports are
statically assigned to 0x3f8/irq4 and 0x2e8/irq3, according to law.
Slipped it a RedHat-5.0 boot disk while nobody was looking, and it
found serial ports as expected.  Added 'flags 0x80' and rebuilt
kernel.  No joy.  Here's the poop:

Various BIOS fiddling didn't change this problem.

Problem is 'serious' because this system requires a serial console.
