Your serial devices are /dev/tty00 and /dev/tty01.  If you want to set
up a login prompt over your serial port, in theory all you should need
to do is edit /etc/ttys and turn one of the following two lines:

tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off local softcar clocal
tty01   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off local softcar clocal

You can change the data rate by changing the 9600 to one of 110, 134,
150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200 (see /etc/gettytab).
