Serial Console Install

I've asked this question before as part of another post, however it
seems people ignore it. So, I thought I'd break it out separately.

I'm trying to do a serial console installation for various reasons.
However, it stops at this point:

md0: Preloaded image </boot/mfsroot> 4194304 bytes at 0xffffffff808e4ba0
ad0: 78533MB <HDS722580VLAT20/V32OA63A> [159560/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
ATAPI_RESET time = 50us
acd0: CDRW <AOPEN COM5232/AAH/1.06> at ata1-master UDMA33
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0

I set the "console" variable in the loader to "comconsole", then in
the serial console boot with "boot -h". I've also tried "boot -D", but
it still stops at the same point. I've tried this with both
5.2.1-RELEASE and a recent 5.3-BETA.

Am I doing something wrong, or have I run across a bug?

If a bug, what's the proper way to report it? 

Thanks.
