PROBLEM:
1. You have a Mach64 display adapter.
2. The Mach64 and the sio probe code do no like each other.
3. You have not patched sio.c to not probe com4.
REMEDY:
modify /sys/i386/isa/sio.c as follows.
Change line 342 to:
static Port_t likely_com_ports[] = { 0x3f8, 0x2f8, 0x3e8, };
The change is the last address was deleted.
Recompile, reboot, enjoy.
