Should be done, unless you used the "-c" boot option to disable ttyd1/cuaa1. Take a look at the output of dmesg, make sure you have sio1 set up. Are you using the generic kernel, or did you configure and build your own? That error message "device not configured" doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it means the kernel hasn't been set up in software to handle it. Remember that sio1 is the driver, but it allows for the devices /dev/ttyd1 and /dev/cuaa1. You might also try deleting those devices and rebuilding them with the script /dev/MAKEDEV, which is handy in building devices. It's possible your major/minor device numbers (which identify to the kernel which drivers you mean) could be scragged. > > Thanx, > > Chris Odom > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
