Many thanks to those who responded. A special thanks to Dr. Thomas P.
Blinn who gave me detailed information which lead me to resolve the problem.

It turned out that the installation CD (4.0d) does not build the kernel file
properly when there is more than one serial port. In the kernel file, it
only shows up as :

controller ace0 at isa0 slot 0 vector aceintr

When the rebuild was happening, it seems to know about the second serial
port but no information was specified in the kernel which resulted with the
following error

By adding an extra line:

controller ace1 at isa0 slot 1 vector aceintr

and kernel rebuild was successfull.

Thanks once again to everyone who responded.

Regards,
Hoai
