Well, the install doc pretty much says "serial console", doesn't it?

Switching from serial to graphics console and vice versa:
Booting the ramdisk kernel can be done from the ARCS graphic console
although it might be more convenient to use the serial console since
the kernel currently only supports the serial console. Some systems
come with the serial console enabled by default but sometimes
this must be changed.
To change to serial console, go into the ARCS Maintenance Console
and change the ``console'' environment variable, and power-cycle
the machine.

will select 9600 8N1, no flow control, serial console on the first
serial port (labeled ``(1)''), while

People put a lot of effort into writing these documents to make setting
up an OpenBSD system an easy task...
The reason you can see the output until the "Setting up"
is that this is the point where OpenBSD switches from the
ARCBios console to its own console driver.
