Hi,

If you read further down in the file you will see this:

# uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to /var/log/console.log
#console.info                                    /var/log/console.log

Just do as it says to log to a file as_well_as console. Change the above line
to whatever name you would like to call the file.
