I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a Pentium 166 PC. I have a motherboard with 2 on-board serial ports. I can configure these ports in the CMOS to use COM1 - COM4. I have two modems, one an internal 56K and an external 33.6. I want to use the external modem on COM2 and the internal one on COM3, IRQ 5. I have successfully used both of these modems on COM2 on this system. With the external, I simply plugged into the port on the back of the computer. With the internal I disabled the onboard COM2 in the CMOS and set the jumpers to COM2, IRQ 3. No problem with these modems, they both work well. So I recompiled my kernel and commented or removed all the lines that did not pertain to my system being careful to include the lines for serial ports 1-4. I set the internal modem's jumper settings are set to COM3, IRQ 5. When my PC boots I see three (3) addresses in the serial ports section, 3f8, 2f8 and 3e8. However when I reboot FreeBSD with the new kernel I still don't have COM3. When I reboot with -c to configure the kernel, there are only two serial ports in the visual menu choices. I then did a MAKEDEV ttyd2 in the /dev folder and rebooted. The results are still the same. No COM3. I have included my kernel configuration file below: - - - > > > KERNEL CONFIGURATION FILE - begins here < < < - - - # # GENERIC -- Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family disks # # For more information read the handbook part System Administration -> # Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel -> The Configuration File. # The handbook is available in /usr/share/doc/handbook or online as # latest version from the FreeBSD World Wide Web server # <URL:http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/>; # # An exhaustive list of options and more detailed explanations of the # device lines is present in the ./LINT configuration file.
