jup. That was nothing I was worried about, though :)

did that.
Still no login prompt via serial console. Although my getty is running:

marian46-23# ps ax | grep ttyd
  810  ??  I      0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd1
  809  d0  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0
  882  p1  R+     0:00.00 grep ttyd
marian46-23# grep ttyd /etc/ttys
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt220   on secure
ttyd1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt220   on secure
ttyd2   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
ttyd3   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure

This was of course logged in via ssh.

No serial login prompt, though :-/

actually that sysctl looks fine to me:
marian46-23# sysctl kern.console
kern.console: ttyd0,dcons,consolectl,/dcons,consolectl,ttyd0,

FWIW here's the complete serial output of the boot process. And yeah, 
it's really missing the login prompt.
marian46-23# cat /tmp/boot.txt
 ?  or [Space] to pause timer  0           ?
