With FreeBSD (and most sane computer software), numbering starts at 0: COM1: == sio0 == /dev/cuaa0 & /dev/ttyd0 (usually 0x3f8, irq 3) COM2: == sio1 == /dev/cuaa1 & /dev/ttyd1 (usually 0x2f8, irq 4) If you really have 0x3f8 irq 4, you'll need to boot with -c and fix your kernel port settings. > - Graey (can't wait to get that p200 that was promised to him so he can > have a dedicated fbsd box) > ----------------------------- > | slayer@luvewe.eglobe.com | > | luvewe.eglobe.com/~slayer | > ----------------------------- -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
