not to point out the obvious or anything but have you made sure that you're
actually loging stuff to /dev/console?  check your /etc/syslog.conf file for
a line like this:

daemon.*;mail.*;\
        news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\
        *.=debug;*.=info;\
        *.=notice;*.=warn       |/dev/console
