Here's what I use on a Intel Tiger4, which I believe is pretty close to the PE3250.

hint.sio.0.flags=0
hint.sio.1.flags=0x90
hint.uart.0.flags=0
hint.uart.1.flags=0x90
hint.uart.0.port=0x2f8
boot_serial="YES"

And after the install, I use this in my:

/boot1/boot/loader.conf.local: (/boot1 = EFI mount point)

<The lines above>
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:da1s4a"
kernel="/kernel/my-custom-kernel"

If your box doesn't have a PS/2 keyboard, in order to get the USB keyboard working:

/etc/rc.conf:

usbd_enable="YES"

/etc/rc.ia64:

kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null
