Just to confirm, are you saying that:

* Boot into bsd.rd without a monitor attached and no serial console, it hangs
indefinitely.

* Without doing anything else, just connecting a monitor, the system continues
to boot normally.

* With serial console connected, you observed that the framebuffer base
address was being set to 0x00.

Have I understood correctly, or is that not what is happening?
