PCI is designed to be automatically configured to any available resource 
on the machine. No PCI card has any jumpers etc to configure particular 
resources. The best you can hope for is for your BIOS to force the 
assignment of a particular IRQ to the slot your serial card is in. 
However, that doesn't solve the I/O port allocation, and it doesn't work 
with systems that use APIC.
