This rhymes with sio deciding that your TTY is something other than
ttyd0. We had this same problem on Rackable -- even though the proper
tty was setup 0x3f8 irq 4 it was being assigned to sio1. You can see
this by 'grep sio /var/log/messages'
The only fix for this is to edit /boot/device.hints and reassign the
flags to the sio1 interface, like so:
hint.sio.1.at="isa"
hint.sio.1.port="0x3F8"
hint.sio.1.flags="0x10"
hint.sio.1.irq="4"
hint.sio.0.at="isa"
hint.sio.0.port="0x2F8"
hint.sio.0.irq="3"
