I have a PCI card with two serial ports. Apparently openSuSE

What I want is to list these ports in fstab, so that the ports are
available upon boot.
I now understand my error. I'm sure I have read more than once that
Linux "treats everything as a directory"; that threw me.
You got it wrong. Serial ports can not be mounted. Never. You mount
block devices, ie, disks and equivalent as part of the filesystem.
What you need is to configure /etc/init.d/setserial.
DO I need to do that, given that the YaST Hardware Information facility
sees the modem and knows that it is on ttyS1, and dmesg knows the irq
level?
