In your installation of FreeBSD on your Compaq Aero, were you successful in getting the internal serial port to probe correctly? I've tried a GENERIC kernel from 2.1.6 and 2.2-ALPHA, as well as Hosokawa's PAO-enabled boot floppy and none of them probe the internal port successfully, regardless of the CMOS configuration (com1: or com2:) of the hardware (set though Compaq's diagnostic / setup floppy). This is similar to a problem that I had with FreeBSD on a Compaq LTE-Elite; while the OS ran fine, neither sio0 or sio1 ever did probe correctly (even with some extended delay added to sio.c). I ran this problem by Nate and Bruce, but never really delved under the covers and sorted it out. Apparently our friends at Compaq do something goofy with their hardware, but I haven't a clue as to what. I assume you have had some success???? ...sjs...
