I have a /dev/cuaa2.  I did a "./MAKEDEV cuaa2" in /dev. 
How can I verify if it's major 28 minor 130?  The MAKEDEV script
says: 
mknod cuaa$unit c 28 `expr $m + 128`
So it looks like it did the right thing.

I also rebuilt the kernel to include the sio2:
device   sio2    at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr

When the system boots I get "sio2: not found".  For some reason, it
doesn't see the board.
