>Description:
	There is reference to a kernel source file, named sio.c in the
	FreeBSD FAQ, Question 5.9. ``Why does the screen go black and lose
	sync when I boot?'' that does not exists in the form as it was
	written. Actually, it was removed from /usr/src/sys/i386/isa [1]
	and it was introduced in /usr/src/sys/dev/sio [2] and in
	/usr/src/sys/pc98/cbus [3].
