Spiller) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: problems with com ports in FreeBSD1.1 Date: 21 Apr 1994 09:09:12 GMT Organization: Computer Science Undergrad Assoc, UCBerkeley Lines: 19 Message-ID: <2p5fro$f6c@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.berkeley.edu I just installed the new version of FreeBSD... The install in general went very well, and was actually quite simple... But, now, in installing XFree2.1, I have hit a slight snag. I can't figure out how to get the com ports working. I am used to hvaing "com" in the /dev directory (from NetBSD 0.9). Supposedly tty0* is supposed to take the place of com*, right? It doesn't seem to work though... Any insight on this would be appreciated... (apologies if it is simple - sounds like I am missing something basic). Thanks, Mark D. Spiller mds@soda.berkeley.edu
