If you look in the /etc/ttys file you'll see lines that look like: ttya "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown off secure ttyb "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown off secure ttyda "/usr/etc/getty D9600" unknown off ttydb "/usr/etc/getty D9600" unknown off If you change an "off" to an "on" you'll enable getty for that port.
