Hello,
I've installed FreeBSD 2.0 on a 486- 66MHZ with 528MB disk space
and 8MB RAM. Everything works fine it appears except for at least
one configured device.
At boot the system recognizes comports as
sio0 detected with IRQ 4 # the correct IRQ for COM 1
sio1 detected with IRQ 3 # the correct IRQ for COM 2
Or something to that effect. Anyway, no entries for either device are
found in /dev.
I'm trying to start X. The problem I have is that the device is not
configured. That is true obviously since there is no special file
for either com port. I do use the mouse on COM1 under Windows
3.1.
If this is not a bug then:
Do these need to be made explicitly?
I did not install /src. I believe major/minor numbers are out
there but...
I also get an error when trying to mount the CD-ROM drive.
(FreeBSD 2.0 on CD)
mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
returns the error
Can't mount /dev/cd0a on /mnt: ??Invalid or Illegal?? super block
What might be the problem here?
Thanks,
Eric Solberg
