Hi,

I just tried to use a serial port on NetBSD 3.0 running as dom0 (XEN2)
and did not succeed.
The output of "dmesg" does not show any com attachment although at least

  com1    at isa? port 0x2f8 irq 3

is defined in the config file XEN0.

The only trace of ISA devices I can see is this:

  $ dmesg |fgrep isa
  isa0 at pcib0
  pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60-0x64

This probably means that neither serial nor parallel devices on the ISA
bus can be used.
Am I missing something?

ciao
