The GUP uses 0x2e0 - 0x2ef. com3 plops somewhere in the middle there.
It also doesn't prevent you from booting up, just blanks the screen
:-) Just about any further activity on com3 will wake it up. (for
example, having a /dev/tty03 entry in /etc/ttys and executing
ttyflags, or even sometimes just echoing or cat'ing random things to
it, in case you ever get bitten by it)
