Most lines of what comes on the Linux console is not single lines
output, and so CP is limited in what can be done. Like this:

18:44:05  INIT: version 2.82 booting
18:44:08 Running /etc/init.d/boot
Mounting /proc device
18:44:08 ..done
Mounting /dev/pts
18:44:08 ..done
18:44:13  Boot logging started on /dev/ttyS0(/dev/con
18:44:16 Enabling syn flood protection
18:44:16 ..done
Disabling IP forwarding..done
18:44:19 Setting up hostname 'lnx00c00'
18:44:19 ..done
18:44:19
18:44:19 Setting up NIS domainname 'home.rvdheij.com'
18:44:19 ..done
18:44:19
Setting up loopback interface
18:44:38 ..done
18:44:38

But SCIF output has similar problems, so you would at least need
something to break up the lines when SCIF picks them up.

I know it requires a (virtual) network connection, but have you
considered to have syslog write the output 'remote' and catch that on VM
?  I could also see some value in an IUCV-based virtual console driver
for Linux (playing serial console through virtual CTC is not my idea of
having fun).
