I didn't do any setting of the console bitrate, just "-Dh" in /boot.config, and it caused a server I was upgrading to lock up just as you described. I had to learn about mounting ZFS filesystems from the Fixit environment in a hurry. My workaround was to get rid of /boot.config, which obviously doesn't restore the original functionality. The system in question was (is) running 8.3-RELEASE.
