Ah, okay. ugen is a generic device. I think you can't use that directly
if you have a usb-to-serial converter.

I guess you need to kldload a kernel module specific to your usb-to-serial
converter. For example something like uplcom, umodem etc. This would
create a new entry in /dev that you can use in minicom.

Permissions for those devices can be set in /etc/devfs.rules (and restarting
devfs with /etc/rc.d/devfs restart). You may also want to look at /etc/devd.conf

I'm not familiar with usb-to-serial converters, so I can't help more than that.
Others may have more experience there.
