Confirmed, 8.0-RC1 with GENERIC kernel (my toyaround machine).

That should have been the correct setting. On version 7, I
have /dev/cuad0, /dev/cuad0.init and /dev/cuad0.lock. On
version 8, there's /dev/cuau0, /dev/cuau0.init and
/dev/cuau0.lock instead.

Maybe loading a kernel module is required to have the
serial ports available again?

It seems that they don't work for the mouse because they're
something different.

I think there's another problem rising: Assume you want to
have a serial dialin line (e. g. for a serial terminal), then
you would have something like

	ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt320 on secure

in /etc/ttys. The question would be: If /dev/ttyd0 does not
exist anymore, how to make this work again?
