--- Comment #2 from Jeroen <freebsd@dckd.nl> ---
I already emailed about step 3 in 26.6.1
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html), that line is
confusing and not very helpful. It should probably be something more along the
lines of:

3. Make sure that the entry on `ttyu0` in `/etc/ttys` is like the following (it
may already be like this):

  ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   onifconsole secure


Somewhere on that page there should probably also be a reference to setting up
a serial console on a Xen domU instance.
In order to make the console work on a Xen HVM instance, make sure the
configuration file contains an entry like below. The console can then be
approached through the Xen command line utilities.

  serial='pty'
