The FreeBSD install using default boot loader.
Assuming this is the right docs to refer to.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html


Switching to grub boot loader within FreeBSD not done before.

Harvey ,

To get console.log in ubuntu we need to make some changes in grub config

Below steps works in ubuntu, hope only the file location would be different rest would be the same.

Write /etc/default/grub 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" 

then save and run 

update-grub2 
update-grub
