Maybe you don't have sio2 or sio3? If you do have 4 serial ports, look in 
your kernel config file for the addresses and IRQ's that the kernel is 
looking for. These do _not_ comply with what DOS looks for. DOS will 
allow com1 and com3 to share an IRQ as well as com2 and com4. In FBSD, 
all serial ports must have a unique IRQ.
