Did you enable the fast sio ports in the kernel config? There is an example
of how to do this in /patch/installed/patch00163/part.11 also you have to
mknod the new devices at major 28.

btw, the patchkit didn't unpack the sources for comcontrol so they needed
unpacking by hand from /patch/installed/patch00163/part.10.tar.z

Does anyone know how to use options COMCONSOLE so that it is possible to
changes consoles easily between the system console and a serial console?
