These numbers are from the "boot" programm (I think), they are the size of 
code, data etc. read from the kernel into memory. One thing that may be a 
problem here is simply that the output is sent to some (non-existing) 
console instead of the serial console. Checking the installboot(8) 
manpage, adding something like "-o console=com0" or similar may help.

Likewise (if you don't care fo the kernel boot messages), make sure that 
you have getty enabled on /dev/tty00 in the system's /etc/ttys, which 
should then start a getty at the end of the multiuserboot - assuming it 
gets that far; the NetBSD install disks don't do this AFAIK, in contrast 
to a "normal"/full NetBSD installation.
