I assume you have compiled the bootblocks as per the instruction in the
handbook.
Second, do you have more than one serial port on the box because FreeBSD can
only work its serial console magic on only one port at a time.
If you redirect your IPMI serial console or just a normal serial console, take
note it's interrupt number in the BIOS.
You'll need to append the 0x10 flags to your UART device in device.hints file
if the you plug in the cable at a non-default port.

what am i doing wrong here?
From rebuilding the install iso and from the handbook instructions here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced.html
which suggests that in /boot/loader.conf only
console=comconsole
is required,
i have tried this and also explicity setting speed in boot/loader.conf
console=comconsole
comconsole_speed=57600
i have also tried having the settings i use to access via serial post install
ie:
/etc/ttys:ttyu0 /usr/libexec/getty std.57600 vt100 on secure
and /boot/config: -D
but same result, install stops ( or goes elsewhere at point below)
It does boot stage 1 and stage 2 then i get nothing?
test serial output:
