    If you dont mind **NOT** having a console **AT ALL** you can comment out
    the system console device (see below) in the kernel config and
    rebuild/install a new kernel.

    >From /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC :

    device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100
    ...

    Advantage : no kernel message on console (in fact, no console! Doh!)
    Disadvantage : makes single user mode difficult at best :P
