The console driver (sc) currently requires you to have at least one
keyboard driver compiled in.  Since your board doesn't have a display
adapter, you can simply remove 'device sc'.

from an earlier message:

If the VGA driver is present, the system will assume you want to use a
VGA console, unless you force one of the serial ports to become the
system console by setting the appropriate hint in device.hints or
loader.conf as documented in the sio(4) man page.  For instance:

hint.sio.0.flags="0x30"

forces sio0 to become the system console regardless of the presence of
a display adapter.

You may also have to tell the boot code and loader to use the serial
console; see their respective manual pages.
