The standard "kernel-to-console-logging-feature" logs to the active console, whichever that may be. If you want to have your kernel debugging output directed to a specific one, you have to disable this feature (dmesg -n1, klogd -c1, or calling the C routine klogctl() yourself), and add something like this to your /etc/syslog.conf: kern.* /dev/tty8 Note that now the debug messages will have the usual syslog stuff prepended (timestamp, hostname, and "kernel:"), but I can't think of a different solution atm.
