If I remove my modem, which is on COM2, Freebsd finds both ports and the mouse works. The modem is somehow preventing COM1 from being accessed. I'm lost. What could cause this? With the PC I got a plug and play modem. Freebsd doesn't seem to find this, though I haven't really looked into it. Is pnp supported? BTW the motherboard does have a PS/2 port but its not connected.
