I probably should have piped up on -current, but yes, serial console is
'different' after the recent changes went into the boot loader.

-P  in /boot.config and the following in /etc/make.conf

BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT=0x3F8
BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=115200

used to be enough for my boxes to work, but now (of course, only after a
installworld for the bootloader) the following in /boot/loader.conf

console=comconsole
comconsole_speed=115200

seems to be required for serial console to work.
