Output of init(8) is suppressed in UEFI mode. There are only kernel messages on ttyv0.

Here is screenshot of clean 12.0-RELEASE booted in UEFI mode.

One more screenshot shows the same instance booted in BIOS mode.
Comment 3 vvv 2019-01-09 15:58:22 UTC 
The problem occurs when FreeBSD started as guest OS under QEMU. CentOS 7 with qemu-kvm-ev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.7.1.x86_64 is used as hypervisor. UEFI firmware - edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20181129.805.g9601046bf4.noarch.

11.2-RELEASE works fine in the same conditions.
Also, 12.0-RELEASE works fine with ESXi in UEFI mode.

The problem also applies to 12.1-RELEASE and 12.2-RELEASE.

Workaround:
- Enter to UEFI settings (F2 on boot).
- Open 'Boot Maintenance Manager' menu.
- Open 'Console Options'.
- Open 'Console Output Device Select'.
- Switch off Serial checkbox. Other checkbox should be switched on (VGA?).
- Save settings and reboot.
