Hello All,
	I'm new to the unix world and i'm in the process of setting up
XFree86 on my 486DX33.  The installation of FreeBSD went well and I
can logon the system.  I have installed and have setup XFree86 but 
my problem is I don't have a com0 device in my /dev directory.  And I
don't know how to create the device.  This is the problem that XFree86
is saying when I try to start it up.  If anyone can help me out here
it would be apreciated.  If I have not supplied all the answers to for
someone to help me then Please E-Mail me with some more questions and I
will do my best to answer them.  I hope to here from someone soon.
