If you were only given options of 0 and 1 it means that's all that was
probed. I suspect the problem is that you've to COM4 using IRQ 3
(same as COM2). This doesn't work with FreeBSD, the IRQs must be
unique.
When you boot, go into the config menu, disable sio1 (COM2) and
enable COM4 (sio3). You should then be given the option of
cuaa0 or cuaa3 :)
