You might want to look at the syslogd configuration then? That might be one

Furthermore, they are only printed to the first console. If you enable
more (ttyE[0-3] in /etc/ttys I think, and wscons=YES in /etc/rc.conf),
you can login on other consoles that are quiet.

Thanks so much Johnny & Olaf. The other consoles look promising. Does this
relate to the NetBSD Guide Chap 3.9 Disk Prep process for selecting
bootblocks?

I have just been selecting the BIOS console, and maybe I should select
one of the serial ports, or option g : Use existing bootblocks ?
I think the console selection is the clue. I will play with this and try
a fresh install with one of the serial ports, like com0.
