Ok, this is probably something so damn easy that I'm gonna feel like a fool
for asking, but here goes....

I just finished installing FreeBSD - wen't really rather smooth.  Problem is, 
when I tried to use Kermit (per the install_notes), I noticed that I do not
have /dev/sio01, or any other serial devices. 

How do I create these, or did I do something wrong when installing?  FreeBSD
reports 2 16450 serial ports during boot, but I cannot access them..

Am I missing something?
