much appreciated, Luigi.
after a couple other emails with Luigi, i configured my system as follows:
rebuilt the kernel with:
options USERCONFIG_BOOT #imply -c and parse info area
modified /kernel.config as:
-----------
USERCONFIG
pnp 1 0 enable
pnp 1 0 os
pnp 1 0 port0 0x3e8
pnp 1 0 irq0 5
quit
-----------
and presto, my PNP card was initialized as if i was standing in front of
the server (which is several kilometers away, and i'd have to get dressed
and go out into the -20C winter weather).
