it is generally up to the settings of the VM as to whether or not access to
real hardware is provided... if your VM software has some place where you
can set up the virtual machine to access real hard drives, set the amount
of memory, how many CPUs and such, you may be able to "add new
hardware" pointing to the physical serial port on the physical machine
/if/ that serial port is recognised by the physical machine's configuration
and its OS sees it...
