NetBSD  9.99.92 NetBSD 9.99.92 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Jun 25 08:25:24 CEST 2024  h@ubuntu:/home/h/netbsd/bugs/kaslr_test/out/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
prekern prints its output only on VGA console.  If KASLR works, this is not a big deal, it only prints a few messages and then moves on, but if KASLR is broken this makes it annoying to debug over serial console.
>How-To-Repeat:
Take a machine with KASLR (e.g., 9.x), attach a serial console and set "consdev com0" in the boot loader.  Observe that none of the prekern output ends up on the serial console.
>Fix:
Don't use a serial console.
