I'm trying to open a serial port with pyserial on a Compaq Deskpro EN 
machine. Operating system is FreeBSD 10.10 RELEASE, i386.

root at merleg:~ # kldload scc
root at merleg:~ # python2.7 -m serial.tools.list_ports
no ports found
root at merleg:~ # whoami

Here are all the devices:

root at merleg:~ # ls /dev

acpi            ctty            klog            stdin           ttyva

consolectl      kbdmux0         stderr          ttyv9


And here is what I see in dmesg:

root at merleg:~ # dmesg | grep uart

uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0

uart1: <16550 or compatible> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0

Obviously the question is: how do I open the COM port from pyserial on 
this machine?
