I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5 RELEASE. The sio driver has a section that tests for a Startech 16C650, its ifdef'd out though so is not in the system by default. I have no idea if it's safe to do so (can't be all that dangerous :) but you could try changing the #if 0 to #if 1 in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c and build a new kernel.
