Hi,

Firstly thanks to all those who replied to my last question, 

The reason i was taking things out of the kernel was because when booting 
the monitor blanked then  powered off and i had to reset the system. 

Investigation shows that if i have a sio device in the kernel i can't boot, the
sio and
mach64 card seem to clash.

I only have e-mail access ot the internet normally but yesterday did get a look
at the freebsd search page and it seems a number of people have had the same
problem, but i couldn't find an answer.

I have a ATI Mach64 graphics card with 1mb onboard ram, the mouse is connected
to COM1 irq 4, there is a COM2 irq 3 but i have only defined sio0 in the kernel.

If i boot with ANY sio devices in the kernel the monitor blanks then powers off
just after loading the kernel.

Does any one know how i can get the serial ports working ? 

Sorry to have to keep asking,

Thanks Adrian
