My next guess would be to reboot your computer and check that the
serial port is enabled in your bios. While your in bios, note the
port number (0x03f8, 0x02f8, etc). The port number tells you which
port is your physical serial port. If you had to enable the serial
port in bios, boot into debian and try the setserial command
again. If the serial port didn't load automatically, you might
have to manually edit the autoserial.conf file (note the bit about
"dpkg --configure setserial" at the top of the file).
Under XP the serial appears as COM1 attached to a 82801DBM LPC
controller at 03F8 IRQ 4
which seems to match my autoserial.conf
