You probably need to comment out the console entries for the serial port(s) in /etc/inittab and then try again. That should free up the port for use with minicom (or any other serial app).
You have to reboot to have the change take effect, unless you customize your busybox (compile your own image) to allow a kill signal to force an inittab reload. Also, of course, doing this disables the serial console completely (after boot messages, no shell), so don't biff your networking setup or you'll be forced to reflash.
