I take it that he's a DOS/Win guy as you're using DOS terminology (COM4).

OK, but by default sio1 uses IRQ3, so you'll have to make sure
there's no conflicts. These are the defaults:
DOS/Windows FreeBSD
COM1 4 0x3f8 sio0 4 0x3f8
COM2 3 0x2f8 sio1 3 0x2f8
COM3 4 0x3e8 sio2 5 0x3e8
COM4 3 0x2e8 sio3 9 0x2e8
If you still have problems send the output from dmesg.
