One of the most common question is from people who have TGAs, don't realize its unsupported, and get confused when they see output on the screen asking them to select a terminal type & the computer doesn't respond to their choice.

Have you actually done 'set console serial' at the >>> prompt, booted FreeBSD, and started the installation purely on the serial console?
