serial.c seems to no longer get the auto-irq and uart initializations right
(I still haven't gotten around to looking at it yet in depth), but a
setserial /dev/modem port 0x03f8 irq 4 uart 16550a spd_hi
in my rc.local seems to fix things.
In this case my /dev/modem points to /dev/cua0, and as was pointed out, you
should be using the callout (cua) devs (major numbers 5, minors the same
as ttysx i.e. 64, 65, 66, and 67).
