There has to be something I am missing. On a fresh install using a generic kernel when I do a MAKEDEV local or all, I don't get any com, or sio devices, likewise I cannot create them directly. When I boot, I do see my sio2 and it does recognize my modem as being there with the location address. Someone please tell me what I am missing? I am also looking for a script or program to set up accounts, like adduser on SunOS or some such. Any suggestions? -Matt p.s.
