So by adding this line to /boot/armbianEnv.txt, I get a lot more output after the "bootconsole" message:
The console variable appears to default to "both" in boot.cmd. So that option doesn't seem to work correctly.
Here's the output I now get:
I'm still getting a bunch of junk at the very beginning (not shown), probably due to mismatched baud rate. I still haven't found a way to set the baud rate for the very early boot stages. Perhaps it's impossible to change. And there's still that weird "bootconsole [uart0] enabled" message, which appears to be pointing to the wrong port.
