Start minicom as root has this error:

minicom: cannot open /dev/usb/tts/0: No such file or directory

I use a USB to DB 9 serial port cable to connect a USB port to a
serial port.
That is all I do: running grub and
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash

However, the computer do not dual boot properly (only boot linux),
eventually I get the computer dual boot properly, but minicom still
has problem.

Previously minicom works, so hardware is ok.
The USB software on the computer works because my USB keyboard and
mouse still work.

The only problem is minicom.

minicom version 2.00.0.
Linux version 2.6.8-r3 x86.
