Hi,

I'm having a hell of a time getting FreeBSD to find my serial ports. I =
have tried everything in the manuals, changed IRQ's, etc., etc., ad =
nauseum! My BIOS says there are 2 mouse ports, COM1 and COM3, however, =
when FBSD boots I get

sio0 not found at 0x3f8
sio1 not found at 0x2f8

I presume FBSD acts in the same way as DOS, i.e. you need a serial port =
installed [COM1] in order  to run the mouse.=20

not suprisingly I then get

mse0 not found at 0x23c


I have tried everything I can think of. My machine uses PCI, the mouse =
is a no name brand, and I can't find any info about the board that might =
help.=20

Has anybody any suggestions?
