add "flags 0x0080" and post what it says:
device sio1 at isa? port 0x2f8 tty flags 0x0080 irq 3 vector siointr

During probe, you will probably get "sio1: probe test N failed"
It will tell you which of the several tests fail.  Then look at
/sys/i386/isa/sio.c and see what part of the probe code caused it.
