is /usr/lib/errdemon present on your system?  we have it here.  it
takes reads from /dev/conslog and writes to /usr/adm/console_log.
i believe our system is S5R2 based.  one might assume bell tech didn't
remove features ...

however, the device driver for a console log output driver is very
simple.  read from the system error message ring buffer, write to
the user address space (passc() should be helpful here).  do this until
u.u_count goes to zero or passc() returns an error.
