Changing the appropriate line did the trick.  Thank you very much!

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.
