>Environment:
FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (<-as of right now.  I don't think I'm getting
the versions of the files I'm trying to with cvs after this problem
showed up.)
>Description:
Accessing the serial port device for the Hayes ESP card, /dev/cuaa2,
the system completely locks up and forced to reset.
>How-To-Repeat:
When the line "modem d a 2" in rc.serial is run at start up, the
system locks up tight.  Commenting out that line and after the
system completly boots, running "cu -l /dev/cuaa2" also causes the
system to completly lock up.

This is happening with all the kernels I've compiled using the
kernel sources after and including 12/01, "cvs update -D 12/01/1996".
The kernel of 11/30 apparently works fine.

I noticed a lot of changes to the file "i386/isa/sio.c" dated
11/30, "cvs log sio.c".
>Fix:
Fix unknown, running kernel from sources as of date 11/30.

>Unformatted:
