Why not parametrize this file too, like the other rc files? Put
something like:
serial_devices="standard cyclades mouse"
serial_standard="maybe d a 0 1"
serial_cyclades="modem c c 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f"
serial_mouse="mouse d a 2"
and have rc.serial do
for dev in $serial_devices; do
eval \$serial_$dev
done;
this way, what actually needs changing is moved into sysconfig,
whereas the details of how to change it remains in rc.serial.
