If it's the 25-pin it's likely to be com2 (usually com1 is the 9-pin and
com2 the 25-pin), so I'd guess you need:
cu -l /dev/tty01 -s 9600
tip console
should also work, provided that the 'console' entry in /etc/remote points
to the rigth serial port (I think it points to /dev/tty01 in the default
install).
