Thank you very much to everyone who provided hints and advice on this issue.

I finally got the console to work by setting the speed to 57600 and:

1) Modifying /boot/loader.conf:
console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="57600"

2) Modifying /etc/ttys:
console    none                dialup    off secure
#ttyv0    "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"        cons25    on  secure
ttyu0    "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"    dialup    on secure
dcons    "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"    dialup    off secure

And booting was solved by modifying /etc/fstab:

# Device        Mountpoint    FStype    Options        Dump    Pass#
/dev/ad1s3b        none        swap    sw        0    0
/dev/ad1s3a        /        ufs    rw        1    1
/dev/ad1s3e        /tmp        ufs    rw        2    2
/dev/ad1s3f        /usr        ufs    rw        2    2
/dev/ad1s3d        /var        ufs    rw        2    2

Again: Thanks a lot for all the input!

/Henrik
