How can I set the system console as a terminal on one serial port?

The terminal is already connected.  I can redirect the messages to
/dev/ttyb in /etc/rc, /etc/rc.boot, /etc/rc.local.

I have set the PROM Console I/O to serial port b as said in the PROM
manual (Sun3 EEPROM) :

           >q 1f
               00? 11
               12? .
           >b

the boot messages are still coming on the monochrome monitor.  ROM Rev.2.6
Sun 3/50

The messages, during a sunview session, are coming on the monochrome
monitor.

Is there any way to set /dev/console = /dev/ttyb ?
