Just ran across this post about

Turns out, they have a special boottime option that lets the OS boot
(almost) without any messages. Which I found even more appealing that
some graphical bootsplash images. Does OpenBSD have anything like
that? Google left me with nothing. What if I am running the same
stable release of OpenBSD on my box for a month and don't need any
verbosity, since I don't change anything (so the system is unlikely to
fail)? Also, what can be done for redirecting the dmesg output to a
local file? OK, I can get all the dmesg cat'ed at some point of the
boot process. But what if my system couldn't actually boot? For that
kind of occasion, I need my whole dmesg to be stored at any given
point, so I could access it. How do I do that?
Just make your console com0 then you wont see anything between BIOS and the
login. If you have a problem booting hook up a serial console and see
what's up. Having said that I think it is dumb to *not* want to see the
boot messages and I hate systems that hide that information from me, but
that's just me.
