Some people have modems on sio2 or 3 because the UARTs on sio0
and 1 are crappy unbuffered ones.  For these people, eliminating
sio2 and 3 may not be a complete showstopper, thanks to the -c
boot option, but it is a hassles regardless.  We are trying to
make installation easier, not harder aren't we?  Considering that
a modem may be instrumental in installing FreeBSD for some
people, I'd hope these could stay in unless there is a *really*
good reason to zap them.
