I deleted the original message unread because it didn't contain a subject. If /dev/cuaa1 is missing, you'll get the message "No such file or directory" (ENOENT, error number 1). If, however, the node /dev/cuaa1 is present, but the kernel doesn't have support for it, you get error ENXIO (6, Device not configured). In this case, ./MAKEDEV won't help. It's unusual to find a kernel without serial support, however.
