For each serial port, the following dataset has to be completed: hint.sio.<N>.at="isa" hint.sio.<N>.port="0x3F8" <---+ hint.sio.<N>.flags="0x10" <---+--- set up hint.sio.<N>.irq="4" <---+ Still, I don't know how to determine the correct addresses and IRQs, maybe the documentation belonging to the expansion card can help...
