I hope you can help. (Using PAO 2.2.8-Release) I'm new to Unix and FreeBSD. I have a Toshiba (notebook) Satellite T1910 486sx, 20 meg RAM. DOS "msd" says I have 2 com ports. Com1 IRQ4 0x3f8 and Com2 IRQ3 0x2f8. When installing FreeBSD boot disk so I could download FTP, I chose the serial port sio0 irq4 0x3f8 and sio1 irq3 0x2f8. The process next shows... sio0: at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550 (but mine is a 8250!) sio1: configured irq3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio1: not found at 0x2f8 Then, the initialize PC-Card controller...comes back with "found 1 PC-Card slot(s)" followed by "slot0: Card MEGAHERTZ(XJ1144) Assigned to sio2 driver" It seems my hardward only has 2 com ports and my modem will only work on com2. Before buying the modem I tried an external one and it didn't work due to the slow uart on com1 so I got the Megahertz PC card modem. Anyway, my modem is on Com2 (sio1) but sio1 is not found as noted above. Then the card modem *is* found correctly, but is assigned to sio2 (com3, which I don't have). So, the Alt-F3 process to get to PPP doesn't work. I am trying to connect to my ISP. Can you enlighten me? Am I doing anything wrong? I've read the newsgroup and mailing list archives. Lots of similar problems (not PAO) but no answer that I can find. Also, would one of those fixit disk images help to reset the install to what I need? Thank you.
