Edit cmdline.txt on the FAT partition and remove "console=fb", see
also https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/raspberry_pi/#index10h2

You can do that with a file "creds.txt" on the FAT partition.  See
/etc/rc.d/creds_msdos for details.  A few archs (evbarm, evbmips,
riscv) have "creds_msdos=YES" in their default /etc/rc.conf .
