I already tried that (in /boot/loader.conf); it shows up in dmesg (and

Try adding it to /boot/device.hints
eg
hint.uart.0.at=isa
hint.uart.0.port=0x3F8
hint.uart.0.flags=0x10
hint.uart.0.irq=4

hw.uart.console=io:0x3f8

That solved it! Thanks a lot!! :)

On a linux box I had, I would get serial output from Grub, lose it
during kernel load and then get a login once the OS was up, much like
what you describe.
