From LINT:

# `flags' for serial drivers that support consoles (only for sio now):
#       0x10    enable console support for this unit.  The other console
flags        <--------
#               are ignored unless this is set.  Enabling console support
does
#               not make the unit the preferred console - boot with -h or
set
#               the 0x20 flag for that.  Currently, at most one unit can
have
#               console support; the first one (in config file order) with
#               this flag set is preferred.  Setting this flag for sio0
gives
#               the old behaviour.
#       0x20    force this unit to be the console (unless there is another
#               higher priority console).  This replaces the COMCONSOLE
option.

So I guess the flag must be 0x30 :)

echo "-Dh" > /boot.config

or 

from 'man sio'

     Meaning of flags:
[cut]
           0x00010   device is potential system console
           0x00020   device is forced to become system console

So either the /boot.config stuff, or change the sio flag from 0x10 to
0x20
