 I should clarify something here: the port isn't listed in pmadm -l at
all (although it exists in /dev/term). I assume that this means that
I need to create it with some arguments; the exact arguments needed to
set things up right (or right enough that I can edit files from there)
are one of the things that I'm lost about.

(The examples I've found of using pmadm to configure things seem to
leave a lot out of magic, and they're often old enough that I'm not
sure if things have changed since then.)
