freebsd stable - Nov 2004 - Monitoring errors printed on servers screen.

I wonder how I can monitor the various prompts and errors that are printed 
on the FreeBSD 5.3 servers screen.

"serial console" FreeBSD
on Google (good source!) brought up this link on www.freebsd.org (even 
better source):

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html

You might also want to have a look at "dcons".

You also might want to check /etc/syslog.conf and syslog.conf(5) 
manpage.

# uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to /var/log/console.log
console.info                                    /var/log/console.log

this has filled what i needed.
