Hmm...
The setserial command is in the boot rc scripts to setup the serial lines
for operation before (e.g.) mgetty is fired up.
Now.
Before doing any other thing, I suggest to upgrade your setserial program
to the latest release you can find on the net (or on a cdrom ... sorry but
I have no pointers to the package because I have done this thing long
ago), recompiling it from sources.
Then you have to look at every serial package to see if it still uses cua*
instead of ttyS* (minicom, dip, uucp, etc etc etc).
Then you have to look at your boot scripts in /etc/rc* or /etc/boot.d or
/etc/init.d or similar to change 'setserial /dev/cua0' with 'setserial
/dev/ttyS0'. This script is usually named 'rc.serial' but may be
something like 'S20' and you have to grep for setserial (grep setserial
/etc/init*/*').
After that, you should be done.

Ciao,
Riccardo.
