Summary: FreeBSD 1.1.5 & sio1 (0x2f8, irq3)
Keywords: sio driver freebsd
I'm been trying for a couple days to figure this out, maybe someone here
can help me (I really want to get FreeBSD up and running right):
I have an internal modem (0x2f8 (COM2), IRQ 3, with a 16450 UART). This
works perfectly fine under MS-DOS, SCO Unix, and Linux. But FreeBSD
dosen't want to recognize it. My kernel config file's sio1 line looks like:
device sio1 at isa? port 0x2f8 tty irq 3 vector siointr
That looks fine to mee, but I might have missed something. Anyway, on boot
it finds sio0 just fine, but then says "sio1 not found at 0x2f8".
I do have the motherboard's (IO card) COM2 disabled.
