Just leave sio[0-1] > confiured. You can do it with boot -c or rebuild the kernel. Unfortunately, this is not sufficient. Grep the file /sys/i386/isa/sio.c for "0x2e8", and remove the ", 0x2e8" string. This should get you going. (In order to bootstrap at all, disable *all* sio ports first, until you can rebuild a kernel.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
