I boot NetBSD-current both from SDHC and mSATA without problems and
the console on com0 is normal (115200,n,1). Make sure you do a

    installboot -v -oconsole=com0,speed=115200,timeout=5 \
        /dev/rwd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2

or similar to get the right speed. I've put the dmesgs up on

    http://netbsd.org/~ast/PCEngines_APU1/

could it be that the PXE boot stuff is not setting the right speed?
