Hi all,

I've got a new ThinkPad 600E (which is great with FreeBSD 3.1) *except*
that it appears that the bootmgr somehow queries the bios and disables
my com port. I put a serial datascope on the thing & once I've enabled
the serial port via the config mgr in W98, the port stays on thru the POST 
& is disabled as soon as the F1=DOS/F2=FreeBSD prompt appears.

Is there anyway to make the bootmgr just prompt the keyboard/screen &
leave the serial ports alone?

(I looked in /sys/boot & promptly got lost...)

Thanks all.

Kent
