I just recompiled the kernel in an effort to get FreeBSD to find a
modem that I have on COM1. The modem is configured as COM1, irq 4 at 0x3f8.
When I boot, BSD complains that it cannot find a device at that address.
It finds the com2 serial port just fine. I noticed that the device
drivers allow for a 16550 UART and the kernel reports that it finds a
16450 UART on COM2. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly
appreciate it.
