The EFI bootblock countdown is incorrectly appended to the
output if you press enter:
booting netbsd - starting in 3 seconds. 0 seconds.
The expected output would be to overwrite the number of
remaining seconds with the zero. The code in would appear to
be printing \b characters, but I don't know why that is not
reflected on-screen.

Interestingly enough this output is not visible on the serial
console after booting. I guess the line is overwritten by the
"commands(s):" output, such as:
command(s): consdev com0,0;rndseed /etc/entropy-file;boot
Running on qemu q35.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start or reboot the system.
