running netbsd-1.1 on a Pentium/PCI system, trying desperately to be
able to talk out on a serial port, trying "tip tty00" always returns
me the message "/dev/tty00: Device not configured"
my kernel configuration file contains
com0 at isa? port 0x3f8 irq 4
com1 at isa? port 0x2f8 irq 3
ran "cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV tty0 ; ./MAKEDEV tty1", no problem
the file "/etc/ttys" contains the line
"tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty mdm.115200" unknown off local"
the file "/etc/gettytab" contains the entry
mdm.115200|115200-baud:\
	:np:sp#115200:
the file "/etc/remote" contains the entry
tty00:dv=/dev/tty00:br#115200:
the file "/etc/rc.local" ends with
chown uucp.dialer /dev/tty00 ; chmod 660 /dev/tty00

oh yes, and the BIOS is setup to find the serial ports at those addresses/irqs.

so, what's the magic incantation to get this working?
