The card in your box is PCI, whereas the card in > this machine is ISA. I think all sio ports are isa, I have never seen a kernel config with them listed as pci. I just replaced the PCCOM8 card with a 2 serial pci NetMos NM9835 card to see if I was going nuts. I get the following: puc0: port 0x7080-0x708f,0x7060-0x7067,0x7048-0x704f,0x7030-0x7037,0x7018-0x7 01f,0x7000-0x7007 irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0 sio12: type 16550A sio13: type 16550A & pciconf shows me the following: puc0@pci0:15:0: class=0x070002 card=0x00021000 chip=0x98359710 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Netmos' device = 'Nm9835 PCI + Dual UART and 1284 Printer Port' class = simple comms subclass = UART I assume that this card is not supported by FreeBSD at this time as the base kernel cannot identify the PCCOM8 card but can identify the NetMos card and drive it. Both of the cards are PCI and I have made no changes in the system to get them working.
