The BIOS is configured to use COM3 for the remote access support, with an address of 3E8. The kernel sees COM3 as uart0 with an address of 0x3e8. Me, in my infinite copy/paste wisdom set loader.conf and make.conf to use 3= F8. Figured that one out by dropping to a loader prompt and reading through the output of "show" and manually setting the hint.uart.0.port correctly. Then setting it in loader.conf and make.conf correctly afterward. --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
