There are at least 8 virtual terminals by default on FreeBSD, but I
seldom (to be exact, never) use all of them, mostly the first 3-4. The

there time to time) are shown on the first vty. So I often get crazy
mixture of this stuff, it covers my Midnight Commander's panels till I
refresh them. I wonder if there's a method to show kernel messages on,
say, 6th console, logs on 7th etc? Such behaviour is well-known feature
of many Linux distros and I remember smth similar when installing
FreeBSD, when messages of packages are shown on 4th vty.
You can easily achieve this by specifying /dev/tty## in the
/etc/syslogd.conf file. For instance, change the line:
*.err;kern.warning;auth.notice;mail.crit/dev/console
to:
*.err;kern.warning;auth.notice;mail.crit/dev/ttyv8
Then the message will be directed to the 9th console. Alternatively, you
can disable some of the normal login screens in /etc/ttys and then point
syslog to use one of the newly freed-up ttys.
