[rescue] stupid netbsd/sparc question

I have an IPX with NetBSD loaded (a pretty basic installation).  Using my
IPX serial cable, I've added a Null modem cable and an SS2 on the other end, 
hooked to serial port A.

Now, there are a lot of tty devices in /dev.  Which one do I want to use
with the serial program to connect to the SS2?  I've tried ttya and ttys0,
and neither work.  The /etc/remote file specifies tty00 as the port
for connecting to other consoles, but there is no such device.  I know
that when I telnet in, it says I'm connected to device ttyp0.  So, which is
the correct device to use here (sorry, I'm still mainly used to using linux,
which uses either ttyS0 or cua0).
