I posted about this a while ago, and since then I installed OpenBSD 3.3 
on my LX. The serial ports work fine now, so it seems to have been a 
problem with OpenBSD < 3.3. (I skipped 3.2, so maybe they fixed it 
there.) OpenBSD 3.3 is very nice on SPARC, incidentally. Makes a great 
firewall / DNS / mail-gateway box, especially with the buffer-overflow 
protection logic built into the C runtime.
