Hmmm, I didn't spot that it was netbsd 3.0 :-(

If you look at offset 0x410 in /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1 or the disk partition
You should see the baud rate, default is 80 25 (0x2580 == 9600),
38400 is 0x9600 and 115200 would be 0x1c200.

If those values are set correctly, but the initial kernel output is at
the wrong speed, then maybe the rate is capped - or the the serial
driver you have (for some reason) objects to the higher rates...
