yes. i then tried to change flags to 0x20 (force console) - still doesn't 
work

sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio0: port may not be enabled
sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x20 on acpi0
sio0: type 16450
sio0: [FILTER]
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0



it is qemu "machine" for now, but just to test, i would like to use it on 
real hardware.
