I purchased and installed FreeBSD 2.1 from Walnut Creek CD-ROM. I need help on the following items: 1. I configured the serial port 1 (which has a built in modem) for the IRQ4 and i/o address of 0x3e8 (as per BIOS 03E8h). The new kernel recognizes the port. However, when I use /dev/cuaa0 it does not work.For example, I tried echo ATDT11111 >/dev/cuaa0. The modem should atleast be off the hook and I should here a dial-tone. No. Also, ppp seems to hang. I had the ppp.conf in /etc/ppp directory configured to use this device. No go. 2. I am getting UnixSocket error after I boot. So, I am unable to ping localhost. 3. I have a Trident SVGA card on PCI motherboard with Linear Accelerator and 1MB of VRAM, and I tried configuring for X86_SVGA and it errors with chipset did not recognize xxx address. I should be able to use SVGA with 256 colors (like Windows does). 4. Sections of Handbook on-line are incomplete like Serial (which is marked with *). Is this right ? Please Help. Thanks putting out a great product. The Install Book is great. Sridhar Krishnan
