Re: Compiling Linux under emulated environment

["Mr. dustin Kick" <vieuxnez%gmail.com@localhost>]

I did just check the BIOS settings, and oddly enough, the serial port *was* disabled, which leads me to ask. Why did it work under Linux if it was disabled?  I checked, and it does, indeed, work correctly under NetBSD as well, now.  I feel like I've wasted a lot of time, now.

Thanks again

I have tried man serial, man isa, man *ftdi*, man uart, etc, etc, and never have been quite able to find a path that led me to a device file name.  I like many things about NetBSD, and the UNIXes, but this is not one of them.  Lots of man pages that don't say what I need, so I still have to go ask someone on a forum.
