It's Serial port 2 (also known as the IrDA port, although you can (and  
should) kick the IrDA gubbins out the way).

The registers are at
Address Name Description
0h 8003 0000 UTCR0 UART Control Register 0
0h 8003 0004 UTCR1 UART Control Register 1
0h 8003 0008 UTCR2 UART Control Register 2
0h 8003 000C UTCR3 UART Control Register 3
0h 8003 0010 UTCR4 UART Control Register 4
0h 8003 0014 UTDR UART Data Register
0h 8003 0018 ? Reserved
0h 8003 001C UTSR0 UART Status Register 0
0h 8003 0020 UTSR1 UART Status Register 1
0h 8003 0024 ?
0h 8003 005C ? Reserved

However, your OS is likely to expose the UART in a more friendly way than  
just handing you a pointer :)

In what way is the serial port not working?
