I have one of these also. The Zoom V.FC uses a pretty bogus 16550 emulator
UART that the serial i/o probe in FreeBSD doesn't recognize by default.
I have a patch for the kernel sio.c source file for 2.0-R; I don't know
if these changes were incorporated into 2.0.5 or 2.1. Basically, the
patch just adds a bunch of printfs to slow down the probe enough that
the bonehead UARTS have time to respond correctly.
E-mail me if you want the patches.
