Here's part of a dmesg for a different OpenBSD machine that I run, also as a
packet filter. It has slightly different hardware but in this case,
wsdisplay attaches and I get 5 pc terminals as well as a serial console.

In this case wsdisplay is attaching to the intel graphics card built
into the chipset. The motherboard here is a much older, much lower
performance Intel Atom D525.
On the target hardware, when /etc/boot.conf is missing or empty,
wsdisplay0 attaches to the vga[01]. As I said in my original post,
SuperMicro is doing something *fancy* with the serial port on this
motherboard to *enhance* the usefulness of the remote sessions on the
serial hardware. Whatever trick that they are pulling is not working
correctly. I've scoured the BIOS to find a configuration that make com1:
0x3f8/irq 4, just be a serial UART. I can't find it. I was hoping that
either there's a way to configure the kernel to attach vga1 to
wsdisplay through `boot -c` or that someone has experience with the
BIOS on these machines and has convinced the motherboard to remove the
*fancy sauce* attached to the serial ports.
Thank you again for your help Otto,
