Attempts to manipulate nonexistant sio ports causes a panic.

I was swapping some boards around and removed a two-port serial
card without removing the related entries in /etc/ttys.  The system
paniced as soon as the first getty was started.

After removing the offending /etc/ttys entries I found that stty
directed towards the missing ports also caused a panic.

Boot messages showed that the ports were not installed.
