I am in the process of sneaking a freebsd box in the back door of our
HP-UX-only shop. We need a dial-in and dial-out server for my support
group, and can't afford an HP box this quarter, so I've been given a
green light on setting up our favorite OS for the purpose.

I have been given a P200 PC by the IS dept, with a Digiboard PC/4e. I've
got the driver enabled, and the kernel is loading it. The difficulty is
getting the serial ports configured. I can only find two semi-relevant
examples, with no explanation at all, of setting up the serial ports for
the multi-port card, anywhere on your site (or the entire web)

the details--
Dell XPS M200S, a pretty generic Pentium 200 Pc with intergated sound,
joustick, USB, a single com port at COM1 on MB, Powergraph 64 video,
single lpt on MB at irq 7, PS/2 mouse port on irq12, an ISA digiboard
PC/4e, and a 3COM 3C595 PCI ether card.
The digiboard river is in the config file as
device     dgb0 at isa ? port 0x300 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz ? tty
it is detected during boot as
dgb0: PC/Xe 64/8k (windowed)
dgb0 at 0x300-0x303 maddr 0xd0000 misize 8192 on isa
dgb0: 4 ports

the on-board serial is in the config file as
sio0     at isa ? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq4 vector siointr
it is detected at boot-up as
sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq4 flags 0x10 on isa
sio0: type 16550A

But, no matter how I set sio1-4, they are not detected at boot-up. What
parameters/flags should I set to enable their detection? What am I
missing?
