Sending Errors to A Specific Console?

Hi All:  This is first of 2 complicated questions?  The other evening I had a 
hard-drive failure--and 9 lines of errors were blasting out, but even worse 
each time I would change consoles, the same errors showed up again.  So my idea 
would be if first I could select a console such as tty22  where all error 
messages would go.  Then for those who figure its important to know of and 
examine them, maybe the PC speaker could ring 2 rapid bells.  At least that 
wouldn't messup my screen while I am reading in Pine.  When looking up this 
concept, it seemed like a program "klogd" might do this, but in asking at our 
LUG last evening, maybe not.
Even when I plugin or disconnect a USB device, the message comes on my current 
console.
O, I am running Debian Testing 2.6.32
Thanks in advance for any solutions
Hart
