Typically to the first serial port on the board. Some chipsets/boards
can also use EHCI Debug Port. And finally there is support for
sending console output over UDP using a RTL8029 NIC.
If coreboot is configured to initialize a VGA option ROM (rare and
not recommended, normally handled by SeaBIOS) then any printk()
following that initi (usually none) would also be visible on the
monitor.
