Gooday, I have installed freebsd onto a newish PC with a PCI motherboard, AMD 586 processor, 16Mb RAM. Everything went just fine, but I'm having a hard time getting themouse to work so that I can install XFree86. It is a serial mouse on com1. dmesg shows up sio0 on IRQ4, and I understand /dev/tty00 corresponds to com1. However, I cannot find either of these devices in /dev. I have tried sh MAKEDEV tty00 and get no error but tty00 does not appear. Perhaps I'm being a bit slow here, but what am I doing wrong? The documentation on the web site doesnt seem to cover this, nor does the freebsd ps manual. Thanks in anticipation, Steve Dixon steved@ice.net.au s.dixon@bom.gov.au
