Lost my serial console! :-)

I built a 12-Stable pull for the Pi3 using Crochet this afternoon and it
appeared to hang on boot (never started the kernel.)  In fact it did --
but the com console has disappeared so as soon as the kernel was loaded
I lost all output to the serial port.

It's running; if I connect an ethernet cable and there's a DHCP server
out there it will get an address and I can then connect and log into it.

I tried setting it in the environment in uboot (and doing a "saveenv"),
but that didn't work, nor did setting console="comconsole" in
/boot/loader.conf.

This used to come up by default but no longer does.... I'm obviously
missing something stupid and would certainly like to fix it. :-)
