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.
