screenshot of bootloader

In FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE using Encrypted ZFS on root via bsdinstall (no
customization), the GELI passphrase prompt occurs before the serial console is
initialized, which prevents the system from booting with a serial console.  

The attached screenshot shows the point where the serial console activates,
after the passphrase prompt. (at the /boot/config line.)

The following are my settings:


$ cat /boot.config 
-D -S115200


$ cat /boot/loader.conf 
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole, vidconsole"
aesni_load="YES"
geom_eli_load="YES"
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift=12
zfs_load="YES"
