Another way is to edit /etc/syslog.conf and add a line:
*.* /dev/tty12
This will send a copy of ALL syslog messages to vc 12. Just don't
have a copy of mgetty running on that vc. You can also use other
syslog configurations if you only want some of the messages.
Here are two that I like...
local2.* /dev/tty8
*.debug /dev/tty9
The first sends ppp related stuff to vc 8, and the second sends a copy
of debug messages to vc 9 But then, I only have mingetty running on the
first 3 vc's on that machine...
