Hi,
 
I'm having a hell of a time getting = FreeBSD to=20 find my serial ports. I have tried everything in the manuals, changed = IRQ's,=20 etc., etc., ad nauseum! My BIOS says there are 2 mouse ports, COM1 and = COM3,=20 however, when FBSD boots I get
 
sio0 not found at 0x3f8
sio1 not found at 0x2f8

I presume = FBSD acts in=20 the same way as DOS, i.e. you need a serial port installed [COM1] in = order =20 to run the mouse.

not suprisingly I then get

mse0 not = found at=20 0x23c
 
I have tried everything I can think = of. My=20 machine uses PCI, the mouse is a no name brand, and I can't find any = info about=20 the board that might help.
 
Has anybody any=20 suggestions?
