Right, so with this setup, you are using a non-working serial console for
the loader on COM1 and then wanting the kernel to use COM2?  Why?

If you want to do that, set hw.uart.console manually.  I think that is a
very rare case and that most folks want to use the same console in both
the loader and kernel.
