this means serial ort one

this means serial port two
if this messages are the only booting-messages
for serial-devices when the system is comming up
it looks like Your box have only 2 serial ports
usually port 1 = ttyS0 is the connector for mice
usually port 2 = ttyS1 is the connector for modem or terminal

thats right, ttyS2 is the 3. serial port which the box does'nt have

if sure You have this port and the bootmessage show it have a look
at
'/etc/inittab'
search for a line like
#T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS3
change it to
T2:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS2
# ^^^^^
#note You must add Your modemspecific parameters here
save the inittab and execute
init q
thats all
