Reassigning kernel output to another vty

There are at least 8 virtual terminals by default on FreeBSD, but I
seldom (to be exact, never) use all of them, mostly the first 3-4. The
kernel messages and another ones (such programs as su(1) also print
there time to time) are shown on the first vty. So I often get crazy
mixture of this stuff, it covers my Midnight Commander's panels till I
refresh them. I wonder if there's a method to show kernel messages on,
say, 6th console, logs on 7th etc? Such behaviour is well-known feature
of many Linux distros and I remember smth similar when installing
FreeBSD, when messages of packages are shown on 4th vty.
Thanks.
