I do think this a requirement. Indeed, a UART is detected in your dmesg:
uart0: <16550 or compatible> mem 0x3fff03f8-0x3fff03ff irq 5 on ofwbus0
uart0: console (230400,n,8,1)
Is it not exposed on the host?
If we cannot debug, a verbose boot would at least add some colour. Could you add boot_verbose="YES" to /etc/loader.conf?
I took a look at the instructions for getting this up and running on my own Pi. It is certainly a lot of instructions. It is a shame they do not just provide a .img I could flash to an sdcard.
