I set it up - no problem as a newbie.  If you have problems, drop me an
email.

No problem.  I'm doing that on my system:

com2 at isa0 port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5: ns82450 or ns16450, no fifo

(DOS COM3 is NetBSD com2)  Again, for detailed instructions, send me an
email after you get your system installed.  Make sure to get the kernel
source code.
