Edit "/etc/inittab" to set the baud rate, parity etc. of the port you
want to use, then "enable tty...." to enable a login on it.

The "inittab" may file may not keep it's settings after a re-boot,
check out the man page for more info.

You won't directly enter the baud rate, parity etc., but instead enter
a label of the gettydefs file.
I think you are going to use XON/XOFF-Handshake with your terminal.
For this I usually copy one of the labels (m or n for instance) to
a new line. Then change the label, edit the baud rate as appropriate
and change the IXANY to IXON IXOFF.

It will keep it's settings after any reboot, but if you relink the
kernel and answer yes to the question, if the kernel environment
will be rebuilt, you get your inittab file rebuilt.
The templates for your inittab file you will find under /etc/conf/init.d.
So be sure if you manually edit /etc/inittab, also edit the other file
that is shown whenever you disable/enable that port.
