getting /dev/par1 error at boot

I am getting the following message at boot

Unable to open device /dev/par1 (No such file or directory)

What is this? Is it a problem that the file doesn’t exist (should
it)?

If it is not important, how do I get rid of the error message? I have
searched /etc/system/sysinit and all of the files in /etc/rc.d and
can’t find anyone that makes refenerce to this /dev/par1

Any suggestions?

thanks, bruce
