  Title                 Hardware Documentation: NetBSD Serial Port Primer
  Current URL           http://www.netbsd.org/docs/Hardware/Misc/serial.html

The pinouts for the MiniDIN8 (male) are mirrored.  The correct pinout is 
documented here:

  http://support.apple.com/TA27966

It should look like this:

   6 7 8
  3 4   5
    1 2

>Fix:
