What version of FreeBSD are you using?  

You can try going to the command prompt from the Beastie menu and 
putting in

console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"

(replace the speed on 2nd line as appropriate to match the speed the board
 used prior to the kernel loading)

and seeing if that helps.
