The file is /boot/device.hints. For each serial port, the following dataset has to be completed: hint.sio.<N>.at="isa" hint.sio.<N>.port="0x3F8" <---+ hint.sio.<N>.flags="0x10" <---+--- set up hint.sio.<N>.irq="4" <---+ Still, I don't know how to determine the correct addresses and IRQs, maybe the documentation belonging to the expansion card can help... If I see this correctly, each serial port should then be visible as a /dev/cuad<N> device file. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
