...'di' is the disable command. These commands disable sio0 and sio1, so I

Thank you Kevin.  That solved the problem.  I'm not sure how the
di(sable) for sio0/1 was written into the kernel.conf.  It has been a
little while.  Maybe my mind is a little hazy.  Maybe I had a reason at
the  time to disable the serial ports.  I am wondering why, when I booted
the 4.6 kernel, the serial devices were recognized?
