True, when on VM READ the VM console is waiting for input and will not display anything until you hit enter. Also, there might be a prompt waiting for you to enter the userid. But since it is flooded with messages the prompt just washed off the screen. Just give the userid and hit enter, it then probably asks for the password. When the console fills up you get MORE... or even HOLDING. Press CLEAR to get the next bunch of messages.
The syslog (usually syslogd or syslog-ng) will send messages to whatever device(s) is(are) configured. So if you want no messages are to be on /dev/console (or /dev/ttyS0) you need to edit the syslog configuration and remove the console device as output for syslog. (note, you can't use vi!) But then you will not get any messages at all, probably not what you want in the long run. As Rob stated, the messages you mentioned are from the firewall, so if you stop the firewall at least these messages won't bother you anymore. But I would advise you to setup ssh asap. Do not use the console to logon unless you can't get to Linux in any other way. The console is nice but you are quite limited there. For instance no vi and no control keys such as control-c. So when you have an active TCPIP connection you'd be better off on ssh.
