Try cuaa0 instead of ttyd0 - IIRC that did the trick for me when
connecting from one FreeBSD to another FreeBSD machine using a serial
cable. This seems the "wrong" way of doing it to me, as sio(4) says:

FILES
     /dev/ttyd?   for callin ports
     /dev/ttyid?
     /dev/ttyld?  corresponding callin initial-state and lock-state devices

     /dev/cuaa?   for callout ports
     /dev/cuaia?
     /dev/cuala?  corresponding callout initial-state and lock-state devices

Still, it might work, or I might be talking rubbish.
