My /dev/tty is: crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 1, 0 Oct 19 20:24 /dev/tty No problems whatsoever with that one here. >(2) What is wrong with the COM ports /dev/com0 and /dev/com1? I had the same problems. You are probably using the standard GENERICAHA kernel, which has the following lines in the config file: device com2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector comintr device com3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector comintr (note the non-standard irq settings). If you recompile your kernel without com2 and com3 enabled this way, everything should be OK.
