Use GENERIC.48.
mknod /dev/ser0 c 12 0
mknod /dev/ser1 c 12 1
(I think 12 is right...)

Look at the man pages on slattach, etc...

I don't know what the savings are.  The preference you give it is useful
as an indicator for the filesystem code, but it will get overridden if
the filesystem wants to :-)  As it does when it starts to fragment too
much or run low on space...
