There's no uart device found (i.e. probed and attached) at port 0x3f8.
So, there's no uart that can be associated with the console and you
won't have a /dev/cuau that is opened for/by init(8).

uart(4) deals with the fact that the console may not be associated
with uart0, so the real problem is not having a uart driver for the
serial port at 0x3f8.

Odd.. Is the 3com configured to take over COM1 or something?
