Does 386BSD 0.1 support the parallel port?  I noticed that there appears to be
no parallel port device listed when booting and that there does not appear to
be a device file for it (/dev/lp ?).  If it is supported what are the major/minor
device numbers.

Just in case the hardware configuration might affect this:

	CompuAdd 325s
	6 Mbyte RAM
	Maxtor 7120 AT hard drive
