Actually, there is an outright BUG in the boot floppy, such that whatever serial port you select, when you drop to term you're talking to /dev/cuaa0. You point to the right solution, Doug. You need to set device /dev/cuaa?, where ? = the serial port you want. Actually, you don't need to move your modem to COM1 or COM2. I installed attached to COM3 (/dev/cuaa2).
