Summary: Slattach gives a devoce not configured error on com1
Keywords: Plain NetBSD 0.8
Lines: 13


I have a 486dx33 with 2 com ports. (com0 and com1).  Com0 is a mouse.
Com1 is a serial port that can act as a serial terminal just fine (19200
7N1 worked just fine)  Now when I try to set up a slattach on the port to
set up a slip connection I get a device not configured error.  I'm
confused, if the port is working, how can it NOT be configured?  The
error message is like innaproprite TIOGCTL (I'm not sure, but this is close)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If there is a NetBSD faq for
slip, point me to it.
