Message-ID: <1994Jan16.220350.8452@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca> Sender: news@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca Organization: SOCS, McGill University, Montreal, Canada References: <2hc3rd$qmb@wzv.win.tue.nl> <hastyCJqqoC.750@netcom.com> Date: Sun, 16 Jan 1994 22:03:50 GMT Lines: 33 Hey now. System: NetBSD-0.9 on a 486/66/Micronics/VLB/ISA/IDE drive/16 meg RAM, running XFree 2.0.... Just got myself a serial port card, with 16550 on it. Config'd the ports as com0 IRQ 4, com1 IRQ3 - they work fine and dandy, I have the mouse and the modem on them. I've been trying to set up one of the built in motherboard ports to run as com3 at IRQ 9, to run a terminal. It's not working -I've tried everything, the kernel is config'd properly, I've created teh devices, checked the permissions, all the stuff you would think of doing. What happens is this: I turn the tty on, in /etc/ttys, and then kill -1 1. At this point the getty kicks in, but it thinks that com3 IRQ 9 is the same as com1 IRQ 4, and as such tries to find the terminal where the modem is. This is a problem. How do I get it to find the correct port? Thanks for any help here. Cheers,Colin. -- Colin Bradley fox@binkley.cs.mcgill.ca Chewing the same piece of gum since '77.
