They can be enabled via ``boot -c''. My modem is on sio2 (cuaa2) and works just fine with GENERIC as long as I enable sio2. > Arthur H.

It is NOT a winmodem, but it does work in windows now.. its exactly the same modem that i had in my system before I upgraded with a new board and cpu... when i did that i had to format my hdds, and now i reinstalled freebsd and it cannot find the modem.. windows finds it and tells me its on com2 and irq5.. so it should be sio1 or cuaa1... but when i boot it says like sio1 is not configured irq5 not in seletected bitmap range ... or something close to that, Ive changed the irq ports in the gewneric kernel and recompiled quite a few times.. and it still doesnt find it. I cant do anything in freebsd without my modem, Is there a way to see if windows is telling me that its useing a different irq in freebsd than in windows?
