try add nc flag(no carrier) to gettytab entry
like this..
/etc/gettytab:
serialcon:\
:np:nc:hw:tc=3D19200-baud:
/etc/ttys:
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty serialcon" vt100 on secure
(or ttyd1..?)
it fixed same trouble on mine.
btw, I don't know why your sio0 is 0x2f8 irq3 .. isn't it supposed to
be detected as sio1?
If you are going to use boot0sio too, you need to add
'BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT=3D0x2F8' to /etc/make.conf then
recompile/install /sys/boot then install boot0sio using boot0cfg(8).
