Can you post a dmesg?

Also, ps auxww | grep getty | grep d0 
should show something like:

root    726  0.0  0.2  1316   956  d0  Is+   8:16AM   0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyd0

You should also be able to tell if sio attaches by looking at /dev:

ls -l /dev/*d0*

you will likely see ad0 devices, kbd0 devices in addition to ttyd0 and
cuad0 devices.
