I take it you mean those bold-face error messages on ttyv0 (root login,
write errors on floppies, etc.)
If you look at /etc/syslog.conf, one of the first lines says something
like:
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console
This means certain errors are output to /dev/console (usually /dev/ttyv0).
If you comment out this line -> no more messages. Most of them still end
up in the other log files, so no real harm done.
with kind regard, Rogier Steehouder
