bingo!!!

    # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
    kern.geom.debugflags: 0 -> 16
    # boot0cfg -B -d 1 -s 1 -v twed0
    #   flag     start chs   type       end chs       offset         size
    1   0x80      0:  1: 1   0xa5   1023:254:63           63     72292437

    version=1.0  drive=0x1  mask=0xf  ticks=182
    options=packet,update,nosetdrv
    default_selection=F1 (Slice 1)

now the remaining issue is how to install a boot which goes
to serial only if no crt/kbd installed.
