I wonder why that is. Is this -current or -stable? I have a rather large
backlog of MFC-able loader changes. If it is with stable, then it makes
sense: I fixed a bug where parse_uefi_con_out would return serial if
'8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOut' was unset. Is it set?  Now we
return Video console if we fine evidence there's a video console.

Now, why it fails the second time, I don't know.

The kernel doesn't use the EFI routines to initialize the serial console.
But if the kernel is being told the wrong console, then it could also be
booting just fine or almost fine and hitting some bug later.

Yea, I don't think so.
