I use 2.2.6, and I used serial patch for 2.2.6. Also, I found out something else. sio0 ans sio2 were not responding.. so I went to toshiba site, looked up specs for TECRA CDT 550. It said modem is on pci bus. So I changed the kernel entry to look for serial ports on pci bus as follows: sio0 at pci? port x03f8 irq 4 sio1 at pci? port x02f8 irq 3 and in dmesg, I no longer get "sio0 not found", and "sio1 not found" so I thought now the serail port (COM0) and modem (COM1) should be fine, but that is not the case. I go in ppp, and it still says /dev/cuaa1 not configured. What should I do, I am doing my PhD project on freebsd, and I cant get it running so far ( as far as networking is concerned). Was my trust in freebsd misplaced ? Did I make a mistake in thinking your book, the CDs and the freebsd groups would be enough of a support ?
