-	  <para>This is a known problem with the ATI Mach64 video
-	    card.  The problem is that this card uses address
-	    <literal>2e8</literal>, and the fourth serial port does too.
-	    Due to a bug (feature?) in the &man.sio.4; driver it will
-	    touch this port even if you do not have the fourth serial
-	    port, and <emphasis>even</emphasis> if you disable
-	    <devicename>sio3</devicename> (the fourth port) which
-	    normally uses this address.</para>

-	  <para>Until the bug has been fixed, you can use this
-	    workaround:</para>

-	      <para>Enter <option>-c</option> at the boot prompt.

-		<devicename>sio1</devicename>,
-		<devicename>sio2</devicename> and
-		<devicename>sio3</devicename> (all of them).  This way
-		the &man.sio.4; driver does not get activated — no

-
-	  <para>If you want to be able to use your serial ports, you
-	    will have to build a new kernel with the following
-	    modification: in
-	    <filename>/usr/src/sys/dev/sio/sio.c</filename> (or in
-	    <filename>/usr/src/sys/pc98/cbus/sio.c</filename> for pc98)
-	    find the one occurrence of the string
-	    <literal>0x2e8</literal> and remove that string and the
-	    preceding comma (keep the trailing comma).  Now follow the
-	    normal procedure of building a new kernel.</para>
