I'm looking into the syslogd capabilities at the moment, it might be
enough.
I've tried following the serial console setup you've pointed, but when I
added the 'console=3D"comconsole"' to loader.conf the OS hanged during
boot time, had to re-install the system.
I assume the info you need is not getting captured in /var/log?
Perhaps your system needs a firmware setting changed to use a RS-232 console?
I assume it is not waiting for a control line, e.g. carrier detect, to go high?
Some systems have buggy firmware and still read from the ps2 keyboard
even though they are printing to the RS-232 console.
If all else fails there is the aim a video camera at the screen method. :-(
