Linux takes somewhere between 30 to 60 seconds from the grub menu to show early bootup console output, FreeBSD takes over 10 minutes to just load boot0, boot2 and kernel (and every module from /boot/loader.conf), then shows its boot menu [1].
So, after digging into this deeper I came to the conclusion that setting CONFIG_DEBUG_SERIAL=n in SeaBIOS' .config was the culprit.
Could setting CONFIG_DEBUG_SERIAL=y be blocking?
