I think you need flags 0x50 (instead of 0x90) on panic.  From sio(4):

     Meaning of flags:
           ...
           0x00010   device is potential system console
           0x00020   device is forced to become system console
           0x00040   device is reserved for low-level IO (e. g. for remote
                     kernel debugging)
           ...
