a couple of questions about netbsd's sio driver 
I have a urt16550 on COM3 irq 5 and wanted to know weather
i needed sio to be able to support it?? if so should i also
have a definations for com2 in addition to sio2 and what options
do i need to set to use sio as i tried to build a kernel with 
sio and it had a compile error (actually it did not find two labels 
both had to do with sio).  if someone could mail me a kernel config
with sio support that works that would answer my questions real well.

also are the major and minor numbers of the sio's the same as there
respective com's??

thanks for you time
