Serial installer not displaying over serial connection?

Hi all, trying to install OPNsense 18.1 on a Netgate XG-2758. While I've installed OPNsense using a VGA monitor and USB keyboard without problem, this model of firewall has no VGA port, only microUSB serial. I have the amd64 serial OPNsense image written to a USB drive, and can get to the BIOS over serial. However, when I choose to boot from the USB drive I get this message:
Quote
/boot/config: -S115200 -D
/oading /boot/defaults/loader.confsion 1.1port
After this, the serial connection does not seem to send/receive anymore. I have let it sit like this for an hour with no change. Any ideas what's up with it?
EDIT: Big thanks to pylox and bhsense for the following post:

Pylox's instructions got the installer displaying correctly for me.

The device has non-standard serial settings.

I think the manual page mentioned was pulled...

Hi there,
I'm currently also trying to install the latest OPNsense 18.1 to Netgate SG-2440, but got stuck at the same spot.
I went through the past posts but since the document was pulled, I'm not sure on how to proceed.
It also looks like the bootstrap option is not recommended since there were major changes involved in FreeBSD 11.0.
Could you please let me what I should do?
Thank you.

After searching more, I found another post regarding editing needed for serial installation here:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=6998.msg31097#msg31097
I'll try this later and will post back the results.
