I am not surprised that it broke serial port driver.  It has been
known that running UpgradePrep and not completing 3.0 installation
breaks DSP driver (all accesses to DSP will fail).

This is supposed to be a temporary configuration just for getting
3.0 installed, and not meant to be used every day.
I guess you either have to go all the way to 3.0, or stay with 2.1/2.2
without doing UpgradePrep. 

UpgradePrep for 3.0 replaces the following:

/sdmach                        (kernel)
/usr/standalone/boot           (boot block)
/usr/lib/NextStep/WindowServer (window server)
/usr/lib/NextStep/PS.VM        (window server image)
