Well - I do have a strange problem with the sio-driver as well and I'd like
to know if this is a known bug ...

I just switched from NetBSD 0.9 to FreeBSD 1.0.2 some days ago and tried to
use the sio-driver ...
I do have 2 serial ports one without fifo and 1 with fifo. Everything
worked fine for the first 2 boots and I was able to use my modem on the
fifo port without any problem. Then suddenly FreeBSD prints 'sio1 not
found' when rebooting and I can't use my fifo port any more. First I
thought my card and/or chip was broken but using the com-driver everything
works just perfect and also under DOS I can use the port without any
problems. About once every 10 reboots the sio1 is found correctly and
everything works just fine.
The funny thing is that a friend of mine does have 4 serial ports and 1 of
them with fifo and he has exactly the same problem. 9 out of 10 times his
fifo port is not found by the sio driver but it works fine under his old
386BSD 0.1 installation ...
(no problem with non-fifo ports as well ...)

Any comments ?
