In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >Ok..sorry about that message, I have a Pentium Pro/200, 64 MB ram, No problem. >etc. My modem is in COM 2. When I start the installion from the Boot >Floppy I select install via FTP. I have a PPP connection, but guess >what, my modem is COM 2 not COM 1...can I do anything about this? Say >in TERM can I switch COM ports? If so how? I'm new to UNIX and I want >and need to learn it...Any help would be great, thanks.. I don't know if there's a way to change the modem from sysinstall, but the following should work: When you insert your boot disk, at the prompt, type "-c" and hit enter. This will bring you to the configuration manager. In the communications section, you should see your com ports, with IRQs and memory addresses for sio0 and sio1. disable sio1 (which is equivalent to com2), and use sio1's addresses on sio0. This should let freebsd see com2 as com1. -- bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
