That's correct device file for whatever NetBSD attaches as "com0".
If you however use "GENERIC" on a system which supports ACPI
"COM1:" might get attached as "com3" because "com0" to "com2"
are reservered for serial ports found via ISA probing.

I would recomment checking the output of "grep ^com /var/run/dmesg.boot"
to figure out the name of the serial device. The device file for
"com<n>" is "/dev/tty0<n>".

	Kind regards
