You don't need this.

You don't need -serial <dev>

In the user mode networking qemu does stuff on behalf of the
VM (the emulated system). This requires a lot less setup on
your host (since it is qemu that does all networking). If
you use tapN, the VM is an *external system* as far as your
host's networking stack is concerned as it will send/rcv
packets over a network interface. This is why you need to
either bridge tapN with your external ethernet interface and
give your VM an externally visible address or use your host
as a router and set it up to do network address translation.
For the latter do the following:
- make sure IP forwarding works
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding = 1
- set up NAT. Let us assume your external interface is fxp0.
Then if you use ipfilter, /etc/ipnat.rules will look
something like this:
map fxp0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/ucp 30000:39999
map fxp0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0/32
if you use pf, /etc/pf.conf will look something like this:
nat on fxp0 from 192.168.0.0/24 to any -> (fxp0)
Don't forget to enable whichever NAT in /etc/rc.conf
- During the installation give your VM an IP address like
192.168.0.2, chose 192.168.0.1 as your gateway and the DNS
entries same as your host.
