what am i doing wrong here?

From rebuilding the install iso and from the handbook instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced.html
which suggests that in /boot/loader.conf only

console="comconsole"

is required,

i have tried this and also explicity setting speed in boot/loader.conf

console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="57600"

i have also tried having the settings i use to access via serial post install
ie:

 /etc/ttys:    ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"  vt100   on secure
and /boot/config:  -D

but same result, install stops ( or goes elsewhere at point below)

It does boot stage 1 and stage 2 then i get nothing?

test serial output:
