I already did that and when I do, I get another copy of the
same messages in the daemon log. But the BIOS messages
are still sent to /dev/console. I think these are kernel
messages since they come from the bios and I have a copy
in console, and messages. 

In i386/apm.c the messages are generated. Every signal it
gets comes through the kernel. 

I did some checking and it seems like it comes through
 at kern.emerg level. Does anyone know why?
