Hi,
I recently dropped a FreeBSD 1.0.2 kernel in my 386bsd 0.1 (no patches)
installation and found out that it isn't configured for com?? drivers.
it recognizes sio0 and sio1 at bootup. So I made /dev/sio00 (28,0) and
/dev/sio01 (28,1) but I'm encountering problems:
COM1: (internal modem) I can't access my modem at all. stty hangs on it.
COM2: (null modem) I get a login prompt from my Linux box, hangs at the
password prompt. Tried changing different settings to no avail.
Another question: Does 386BSD/FreeBSD support virtual consoles? if so, how
do you activate them?
Cheers,
--
