It needs to be done automatically so this would not work for me.
Anyway, single user mode does not execute any of the parts needed for wscons to show screen console when running installboot with console=com0

What do you mean? ttyE0 ?
Executing /usr/libexec/getty Pc console will automatically start login session prompting for username. I would somehow need to make getty not to prompt for username (login:) and not execute the login binary.
I really wished to make this work and have router software capable of running with output sent to serial and screen console.
