Indeed too long to read from where I am now.  Also, always leave the
line starting with '# $FreeBSD:' in your replies as that will tell us
which version of the script you used, but..

 - All your config vars should go in a separate config file, say
   mynanobsd.conf, then run 'sh nanobsd.sh -c mynanobsd.conf' to
   build an image.

 - The line 'NANO_BOOTLOADER="boot/boot0sio"' selects a boot0 loader
   (the part that goes into the first sector of your flash device)
   to be one that supports only a serial console.  If you want VGA
   use 'boot/boot0' there.  There's no boot0 loader that supports both
   because it must be very small (max. 446 bytes).

 - If you go for serial console you should have a line
   'customize_cmd cust_comconsole' in mynanobsd.conf, for VGA leave it
   out.

 - Later boot stages in FreeBSD support dual consoles (VGA and serial)
   but the nanobsd.sh script was not meant to support that.

See nanobsd(8), boot(8) and:
