Don't do this; it will trash your filesystem. While read-only UFS
on Linux is relatively safe these days (it used to produce frequent
kernel panics), read-write has never worked properly. I also doubt
there is much interest in fixing it.

By the way, in my experiences with Sun, you need hardware flow control
enabled. Also, you need to ensure that the cables you are using have
all of the pins connected, and you are correct in assuming that you
need a null style cable. you'll find a crappy serial
cable where the hardware flow control pins are disconnected. my
sun's (ultra 10 and ss20), they use the following by default: 8N1
9600 rts/cts
