Hi Zoran,

I have a Sheevaplug but I haven't been able to use the usb serial
interface from my FreeBSD box. What I ended up with is using a EEE-PC
with Ubuntu and minicomm set up as modem-less connection.

I only needed this to set the plug to use a SD card for the main
storage and not wear off the internal flash memory and have extra
storage.

Under normal operation you do not need the serial console since you
can connect to it using ssh once the plug boots and acquires an IP
using DHCP. The default name is debian or look into the DHCP server
log and find the assigned IP.

Cheers
