My line drivers are fried on sio0 and I only have sio1, sio4 and sio5 available for use. I set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x2F8 in /etc/make.conf, rebuilt sys/boot and installed. I put the new boot blocks on disk using bsdlabel -B /dev/ad0s2. I edited /boot/device.hints and changed hint.sio.0.flags="0x10" to hint.sio.1.flags="0x10". I also tried statically compiling the hints into the kernel. Now when I boot and use -h or set console=comconsole in loader, the console flips away from the vidconsole as expected, but doesn't go to sio1. At least not so I can tell. I've got a null-modem connecting sio1 to a tip session on another machine. I've verified the connection is good because I can tip between the two machines manually. What am I missing? mike
