No, wherever. What's the exact problem? (E.g.: do you get te cv3d mentioned
at kernel startup time, does console output appear on it?)

-S includes symbols. This comes handy if your kernel panics and drops
into the debugger, as you get symbolic output and really can help the NetBSD
developers diagnose what happens.
-A enables AGA usage, in case your console is on the builtin graphics.
