/dev/ttye0 is the internal console device (that is, your keyboard and
monitor) which isn't configured when you turn on serial console.

Before booting in multiuser mode with serial console, you should edit
/etc/ttys so that getty won't run on /dev/ttye0 but will on
/dev/tty0[01] (whichever you are connecting your terminal).
