  The sio driver doesn't work on FreeBSD/ppc. It requires an attachment 
to a bus somewhere (there's no ISA bus attachment). I do have it sort-of 
working with the psim simulator (with an 'iobus' attachment), but 
you've just hit the fact that porting to a new platform with different 
hardware than Macs doesn't come for free - there's always going to be 
some development required.

later,

Peter.
