I had this kind of problem. The port is being configured with full modem control, you don't have
DCD active so nothing happens! In /etc/ttys mark /dev/tty00 as "local". At boot time /etc/rc runs
ttyflags to set the mode.

In our case this m anifested itself as a serial mouse under XFree86 not working.
