Having just gone through the ordeal of installing an ISA PNP modem into
a 386/DX40 running 3.4-RELEASE I suggest you change the following
section to *NOT* including kernel rebuilding since 3.4-RELEASE already
includes pnp.
My thinking of logical steps to do in 3.4-RELEASE is this:
1) Install ISA PnP modem
2) Boot machine. Run "pnpinfo | more" as root.
3) Check if the IRQ/DRQ/PORT gets assigned (near the bottom of the
output of pnpinfo for that device).
4) If it doesn't get assigned, note the CSN and LDN for the modem.
5) Add a line like this to /boot/kernel.conf to get the kernel to
enable the modem
pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 4 port0 0x2f8
6) shutdown -r to reboot
7) "dmesg | more" to check if the modem is assigned as sio0 or sio1
Thanks for a great OS.
