This is a known conflict between the sio driver and the Mach64 chipset.
You can work around this for installation by disabling all of the serial
ports using userconfig, and then build a modified kernel that doesn't
attempt to talk to sio3 by modifying /sys/i386/isa/sio.c :
static Port_t likely_com_ports[] = { 0x3f8, 0x2f8, 0x3e8, 0x2e8, };
to
static Port_t likely_com_ports[] = { 0x3f8, 0x2f8, 0x3e8, };
This has been fixed in -current.
