I am using a 386BSD on a 486-50.  I am having problems with my serial ports 
after shutting down under 386BSD and loading DOS.  I appears that the
16550 uarts are left in some weird state, as my mouse which is connected
to one of my serial ports stops functioning correctly.  If I power cycle
the computer, the ports start working properly again.  Anyone had a similar
experience?  Is there a fix?
