I'm getting wild and crazy...

I'm trying to debug the serial ports - specifically the Cyclades 8Y card.

I built me a kernel with some printf's in it, and they're coming
out on the console, which is OK, but inconvenient, /dev/ttyE0 being
slow, and hard to capture.

I could use the serial boot console, and Zterm, but...

Are there any easy ways to capture or redirect the output of kernel printfs,
preferrably without using the serial ports?  I'd like to simply redirect them
to a file, or another device, if I could.  Can I redirect them to,
say, /dev/ttyp1?

Thanks,
