I have a problem with a friends computer(to whom this message is
cc'd).  The system is running the 950726 2.1 snapshot.  It is a
Gateway 2000 P5-60 running AMI 1.00.10AF2T bios.  Both DOS/Windows and
OS/2 recognize and operate the Zoltrix 14.4 internal modem just fine.
It is jumpered for COM1, but we have tried it on COM2 also.  The
on-board COM1 has been disabled.  When FreeBSD boots, we get

sio0 not found at 0x3f8
sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16550A

The address of the card is right, according to DOS.  I have included
the kernel config file below.  If anyone can help, it would be
appreciated.  It works under OS/2, Windows, and he's booted Linux far
enough to see that it recognizes the port, though was having trouble
with Linux's installation and hasn't gotten a comm program up yet.
Everytime I talk with him he starts talking about how FreeBSD is
missing the point as far as alternate-to-windows operating systems go
because of the installation difficulty and most-essential hardware
(the reason he liked FreeBSD, when I lent him my modem for two weeks,
he said, was the network access it gave him.)  He can't use FreeBSD
with his modem, and I said it should be fixable.  Does anyone have
suggestions as to how I might proceed in helping him fix this?  I'm
tired of having to explain how cool FreeBSD is while he says "But it
doesn't support my modem, but it doesn't support my modem...  and it
was really hard to install."

He has since deleted the FreeBSD partition and has either Linux or
something on it now, so if anyone can suggest a probable solution,
we'll try reinstalling.

I have attached the kernel config.
