If you have the kernel's sources go to the config file (one of the GENERIC*
in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf) and make sure that all of your ports are listed
there with proper IRQs. If they are not -- fix them (you can also remove/c
comment lines which say about devices you don't have and don't plan to have in
near future -- this can significantly reduce new kernel's size). There is
file LINT in the same directory which has all (or almost all) possible devicess
listed with decent comments about each one. After you finish editing -- run
config FILENAME (the FILENAME is the one you just edited). Then go to
/usr/src/sys/compile/FILENAME and run
make depend
there.
Then -- just
make.
Move your /kernel to something like /kernel.old and replace it with a new one.
Reboot and see what happens :-).
******
If your modem requires downloading some kind of a firmware (or some other
special treatment) -- find out if it is supported in *BSD. Good luck!
