Seems both seabios and boot loader print to the serial line.

> qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -nographic -serial mon:stdio -cpu kvm64 -enable-kvm -boot d -no-reboot -cdrom archlinux-2018.01.01-x86_64.iso

Try "-display none" instead of "-nographic".

"-nographic" is a shortcut which does several things, one of them is
setting the "-machine graphics=off" guest hint, which in turn enables
the serial console in seabios.

cheers,
  Gerd
