Which model iBook?
If you look at the output of `dmesg | grep tty` do you see lines like
this:
(from my iceBook)
tty00 at 0xd58a7020 (irq = 22) is a Z8530 ESCC (internal modem)
tty00 at 0xd58ae000 (irq = 23) is a Z8530 ESCC
?
Did you build the mac serial stuff as modules? Are the modules loaded?
(Look in `lsmod` for anything serial-related. If "serial" is loaded, (you
shouldn't have built "serial", that's an x86-ism), you should "rmmod
serial" and "modprobe macserial".)
Wait a minute - what do you mean there isn't anything in /dev/ttyS* ? Did
you build the devfs? If you did, and don't know what it is, you don't want
it. :-)
