Greeting-

It sounds like you do not have a getty running on the port you are
connecting to for the console.  I found out the hard way that it may
not be known as /dev/console.  

Try to boot single user.  If that works then do a tty to get the name
of the port and edit /etc/ttys to start a getty on that port when the
system goes multiuser.
