Chris Demetriou tells me there is now another "FAQ" on agate,
386BSD.BUGLIST.  This covers pretty much everything not covered in
Terry's FAQ - including, if it's not covered, how to set permissions for
tip.

One point that  may not be covered is  serial (com) port  naming.
After applying Terry's patchkit, what used to be com1 is now called
com0 and what used to be com2 is now com1.  This should be reflected in
the /sys/i386/conf/SYSTEM-NAME config file, as well as in /etc/ttys,
/etc/remote and Xconfig (if you run X).  And don't forget to create
/dev/com0.

Here are the permissions on my system:
crw-rw-r--    1 uucp     wheel      8,   0 Dec 21 22:14 /dev/com0
crw-rw-r--    1 uucp     wheel      8,   1 Nov  7 04:15 /dev/com1
crw-rw-r--    1 uucp     wheel      8,   2 Jul  5 21:35 /dev/com2
drwxr-xr-x    2 uucp     wheel         512 Dec 21 22:18 /var/spool/lock
-rw-r--r--    1 uucp     wheel       58941 Dec 21 22:18 /var/log/aculog
