It sounds like the console is being set to the serial port (look in /boot.config), but that no getty is being spawned on the console. To make it "just work" for now, manually edit /etc/ttys and stick something like this on the proper serial line: ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt102 on secure Then "kill -HUP 1" to have the file re-read.
