make sure cust_comconsole is not switched on by 

customize_cmd  cust_comconsole

+ check and change these vars: 
NANO_BOOT0CFG="-o packet -s 1 -m 3"
NANO_BOOTLOADER="boot/boot0sio"

to your needs by make your config file and call this with
nanobsd.sh -c your file.cfg
optionally consider options -b or -k  or -w, run nanobsd.sh -h for help.


and/or consider this path on nanobsd.sh

see:
man boot.config
