description:
Add comment suggesting s/com[0-9]/com*/ and s/lpt0/lpt*/
if you enable com*/lpt* at pnpbios0, to avoid attaching
com0 as com3.
Don't actually change the "com0 at isa" line, since doing so
would cause some com* (e.g. pcmcia) to be renumbered from com3
to something lower, at least on some systems.
