yeah I got like this:
sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa
sio0: type 16550A
sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16550A
sio2 not found at 0x3e8
sio3 not found at 0x2e8

I have only mouse and modem attached on my serial port. My mouse works
fine if configured as /dev/cuaa0. So, that means I should set up my modem
as cuaa1 if it is recognized by the kernel.
