Hi Baruch,
Thanks for your hint. Your solution refers to the change of the command line arguments
used at boot-up. I am however looking for a possibility to redirect console device at run time.
Best Regards
Mirek

I encountered a similar situation before. My solution was to pass console=tty1
to the kernel.
