The problem may be that your boot blocks were compiled with BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED set to 9600. Try reinstalling them with e.g. `disklabel -B ad0s1' (make sure you get the right device name - it should be the slice that you boot from). Previously both /boot/loader and the boot blocks would override the serial port speed according to BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, but I believe that since the recent change, loader will assume that if the boot blocks requested a serial console, then they will have already set up the correct speed.
