All of the early steps, until the kernel initializes the graphical
console, go to the serial console.

I bought a serial console cable that goes into the headphone port.
Inside the laptop, there is a switch to change the port from
headphones to console. This allows you to see the convoluted process
in full glory :) U-Boot, then the NetBSD EFI bootloader, then the
kernel.
