Trivial.  Add the following to /etc/syslog.conf:

*.*						/dev/tty12

then reload or restart syslog.  (Keep your previous entries for
/var/log/messages etc, syslogd can log to more than one
destination).

However, that is a bit too verbose and full of cluttter.  I would
recommend something like the following...

*.*;mail.none;kern.none;authpriv.none;cron.none	/dev/tty12
kern.*						/dev/tty11
mail.*						/dev/tty10

That separates out kernel and mail logs onto their own screens.

  If you don't want to use tty10 or tty11, then use tty13 and tty12 -
  but you can't get to it directly with an F-key (unless shift-alt-F1
  is set up to works for tty13 etc).
