Dear FreeBSD,

I have a problem with the SNAP release August.  I would like to ftp install it 
into my box with PPP but the boot kernel doesn't recognize my modem on
/dev/cuaa3 as it is not precompiled to that, yet I don't want to switch my
internal modem manually (hardware) to /dev/cuaa0 (which is polling in boot up
) is there a way I can get the boot image with it polling /dev/cuaa0 through
/dev/cuaa3?  Any help will be appreciated!  I currently use FreeBSD 2.0.
