problem with serial port BSD
Hello all ,
i have change my system debian linux to freebsd( pcBSD)
all working as well , but the serial does not work correctly.
Under linux the problem does not appears.
my problem is than my serial port does work .

the first step than i have make is look with dmesg if my serial are detected .
the result of the commande
dmesg | grep -E sio*

Code:
<16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 flags 0x10 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
sio0: [FILTER]

if i have correctly read the handbook of freeBSD that's means than the serial are compiled and detect.

after i have check the option of my serial port with command

stty -a -f < /dev/ttyd0

Code:
speed 9600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns;
lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl
        -echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho -pendin
        -nokerninfo -extproc

        -brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk
oflags: -opost onlcr -ocrnl -oxtabs -onocr -onlret
cflags: cread cs8 parenb -parodd hupcl clocal cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow
        -dtrflow -mdmbuf
cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = <undef>; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
        eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; erase2 = <undef>; intr = ^C;
        kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 0; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R;
        start = ^Q; status = <undef>; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 1;
