Subject: Bug#3314: On request of Bruce: /etc/rc.boot/0serial way too optimistic

From: Niels <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 1996 19:14:32 +0200 (MDT)

Package: base
Version: boot disks of 1996_6_11
 
/etc/rc.boot/0serial tries to do a 'wild' interrupt detection. Also, it
configures cua0 to cua32. That's "a bit optimistic"...
 
Proposed fix: leave in only the last line of the script.
Not two computers have the same COM ports: a Compaq Deskpro has only COM1,
my computer has COM1 and COM2, other computers have internal modems on
COM[34].
