I believe that console printfs all end up in the kernel message buffer, and
hence should get logged by syslogd, and be extractable using dmesg.  Is this
good enough for you?

Otherwise, you could look up TIOCCONS in tty(4), which redirects console
messages to a specified tty, which should be able to be ttyp1.
