rc.serial normally only doesn't touch the normal ports, and you don't
seem to have changed this.

You can stty it from any root login (stty crtscts </dev/ttyd0) or put this
at the end of /etc/rc.serial or in /etc/rc.local.  rc.local is best unless
there is enough early console i/o to need flow control.
