i liked the old days when dmesg, /var/log/messages and other syslog stuff was displayed automatically on a tty console. I tried a softlink from /var/log/messages to tty9, but didn't have any luck. Would it require a tee or a mod to dmesg?
Should be able to control this in your syslog configuration, I prefer syslog-ng myself, but the regular old syslog can do this too I believe.
