Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD 6.X, 7.X and 8.X Chapter 15 Serial Communications http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/serial.html The 8.0 FAQ has to be updated to reflect new serial port names. From the 8.0 release notes is the following http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes-detailed.html [amd64, i386] The uart(4) is now the default driver for serial port devices in favor of the sio(4) driver. Note that the device nodes have been renamed with /dev/cuauN and /dev/ttyuN.
