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.
