>Description:
When I boot from a my harddisk I get a sio1 not found at 0x2f8, but when I boot from a floppy, The serial port is enabled.
Sio contains my modem.  It is not in conflict with anything and show up fine in dos.  I have a quantum hardrive and use the
masterboot record to start the driver to detect the actual size of the 
drive since my cmos does not support it.  I have a 386/33 machine.

State-Changed-Why:  
This is a 2.0.5 PR concerning his system not detecting COM2, 
which I have personally had work in post 2.0.5 releases with 
no problems.  I have not received any response from the originator to 
multiple mail messages for over a month, so due to the lack of  
additional information, I am closing this PR.
