I don't think so. You can try swapping the hints for sio0 and sio1 and seeing if sio1 suddenly shows up as working and valid. If so, then the changes in 8 to bind unit numbers using hints might work for you to get COM1 back as sio0. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
