Well Daniel, Here's what I did to get rid of those error messages.....

In /sbin/init.d, there is a config file called serial. Basically, I changed the part 
in the file that
read

SETSERIAL="/sbin/setserial -b"
    PORTS=`echo cua*`

to read
SETSERIAL="/sbin/setserial -b"
    PORTS=`echo ttyS*`

I wouldn't advise deleting the /dev/cua* files, but maybe first moving them into /tmp 
and rebooting.
Still, those files are only 5 bytes each.....I don't think it would hurt your system 
too bad to leave
them in, if only for compatability reasons ;)
