I hope this is something that can be addressed.   Last night i went to
attach a console to a switch i was working on.   Every time i went to
attach to the serial port my system locked.   cu -l /dev/cuaa0 minicom and
tip all displayed the same results.

I looked through dmesg to see nothing out of the ordinary.  sio0 and sio1
found properly, all appeared normal.   Fortunately being untrusting of pc
hardware i checked the bios to find that the serial ports had been
disabled.   After re-enabling them this behavior went away.  

Is it possible to have some change in status mentioned in dmesg stating
that the serial ports are infact not operational?   Probing them and
assigning irq's to the device that isn't enabled is not very intuitive
when it comes to trouble shooting this.

Thanks for the airtime.
Paul.
