yes ,thank you.
i finally figured it out by playing around with it a bit and after i saw that /dev/com1 wasnt an option. what the hec was i thinking i dont know. i thought i had seen com1 listed during the boot and figured it would be under /dev. anyway i have both systems up and running now with X functioning.

Next Problem(s):

I have two NICs in each box one 3com 10BaseT,xxx,10Base2 and one SMC EZethernet 10BaseT. I broke it up like that because I couldnt get the SMC cards to configure in order to load netbsd via ftp. I will get the dmesg out but the immediate problem is with the 3com cards one of which seems to reset when i reboot to a 10Base2 default. So question #1 would be how do I get the media type of 10BaseT  made permanent in the card that keeps reverting to 10Base2? and question #2 is how do i set the dns service search order (what its called on windows) so I can get it working with the Internet connection (cable modem). I got it working as a dhcp client but i want the machines to have static IPs and they had host down error messages when i had them running as dhcp clients and assigned static IPs.
