I think you are stuck making the symlink. The problem is that the
driver for the PCI I/O card is setting the port to ttyS14, so it
is the driver that would need to be changed. If you were not using
live CDs, you could create a udev rule, but this is not really an
option for live CDs. (You could also use setserial to change the
device.)
