serial ports on the Ultra 5

[Aaron Glenn]

For the life of me I cannot get either serial port on one of my Ultra
5's to work in FreeBSD. I'll admit I don't quite grasp how the sio(4),
puc(4), and sab(4) drivers intertwine (if at all...) and while
/etc/ttys makes sense to me, I don't understand how to get or why I
don't have a /dev entry for either of the serial ports. I am unable to
console out or into the box; prior to FreeBSD 6.0 the machine had
OpenBSD and the ports worked flawlessly, ruling out a hardware issue.

The release notes say it should work, the sab(4) man pages says
/dev/tty[a-b], /etc/ttys has an entry, dmesg says puc(4), and I can't
make heads or tails of anything. I'm missing something important - can
a kind soul point me to it?
