Change your /etc/ttys file as follows:

# serial port (19200bps is default WindowsCE boad rate)
console "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200"        vt100   off secure

# Workstation console (framebuffer) ttys
ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100   on secure
ttyE1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100   on secure
ttyE2   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100   on secure
ttyE3   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100   on secure

et voila...

Best regards,
