Now I am totally perplexed. After your answer I did some more research and found the info that onifconsole only works when in /boot/loader.conf comconsole is set before vidconsole in the console parameter. So I changed it, also set /etc/ttys back to onifconsole and rebooted but after the reboot loader.conf was back to the old sequence, onifconsole was still set but now the serial console worked !?! I promise I tried dozens of times before and it definitely did not work with these very settings.
But since it now works with onifconsole I will not write a feature request. Whatever happend in my instace I don't think OPNsense is at fault.
Thanks for your responsiveness and sorry for the noise
