I am having trouble configuring a terminal that I connected to
FreeBSD 1.1. In the ttys file, I have to tell it what to look for, correct?
So how do I tell FreeBSD that there is a terminal on the serial port?

In the ttys file, I have a line like:

tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"  vt100    on

Is this correct? Or am I totally missing the point? If this should
work, then what other things do I need to configure? the tty00 connection
is in the /dev directory, and I can find no reference to any other 
configuring a terminal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
