i have tested this.  but my instructions might have been faulty.
i normally run this command on any terminal
i log into (including the redundant set of scrolling :-( ):

        window -m -hide -scroll rc -c 'echo scroll>/dev/wctl; label kmesg; tail 
-f /dev/kprint&'

if you have to type in the face of interrupts, you might need to cut that down 
to just
the "tail -f /dev/kprint"
