Near the top of /etc/syslog.conf, you'll have a line that looks like: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console and a little further down: *.err root Those messages are logged under kern.err, I believe, so that's why those messages are getting sent to /dev/console and root's tty. Just edit syslog.conf (see syslog.conf(5)), restart syslogd (see syslogd(8)), and those messages will be out of your way. If I'm wrong about the priority of the messages, you'll have to edit some other lines.
