Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk This must be pretty basic PC stuff, but I'm fairly new to PCs, so bear with me. I'm trying to add a "hi-speed" serial card with two ports to a 486 ISA system running FreeBSD. The card allows setting of IRQs via jumpers on the card, as well as base addresses. . I chose 10 and 11 for these ports which are supposed to be sio2 and sio3. FreeBSD doesn't recognize that the com ports are there, though I changed the irq for sio{2,3} via kernel -c. I reluctantly booted up DOS and ran msd, which shows all 4 com ports (and identifies the different uart chips correctly), but shows the ports sharing IRQs 4 and 3 (which is common in the DOS world, I am told). WTF? What am I missing? Thanks, Tim
