>Description:
Serial loader seems broken under 9.0

Using FreeBSD-8,3-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
adding to boot/loader.conf

bootconsole="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="57600"

Sufficient for serial install to work fine

Under 9.0 (All install isos) 
stage 3 loader never appears

>How-To-Repeat:
serial install under 9.0 (any iso) 
with loader.conf of:

bootconsole="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="57600"

>Fix:
