The most obvious problem I had was that /dev/com0 either didn't exist
or didn't work properly, so I'd lose serial access once the kernel
booted. with the new config, /dev/com0 worked, so it was trivial to
get the serial access working throughout the entire boot to login
process. I had other problems, evidenced by the fact that the network
was not getting started, which I couldn't really troubleshoot without
knowing what/where the problem occurred.
