This should be documented in the man page for the driver, hence uart(4),
but for some reason it doesn't have it like sio(4) and pty(4) do...

Part of this is a change in 6.x that "fixed" the differences between
ttyd0 and cuaa0, so that the letter between tty and the unit number
agree... (6.x doesn't have a cuaa anymore, it's now cuad..)  I'll be
committing a fix for uart(4) shortly...
