I trimmed your paragraph to a 70-char width.

Anyway, I'm not aware of any way to halt the output to the console.
Settings in /etc/syslog.conf might eliminate some of it, but I
doubt it'll do what you want.  The "beastie=NO" thing sure won't.

I'd look into setting up my /etc/ttys so that the serial line is
not the "console".  You might use syslog.conf to duplicate console
messages to a file or something.
