put `talosctl dashboard` on a virtual tty

Feature Request
After boot Talos should keep console logs on one tty9, and switch tty1 (0?) to display talosctl dashboard with summary view as a default.
Description
- are we missing any kernel config?
- how to implement switching between virtual ttys?
- how to redirect console logs to another tty?
setting up virtual consoles: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/vconsole/vconsole-setup.c
This should probably only apply to servers with multiple (functional) ttys.
Headless VMs, or SBCs without a GPU should probably only show their console logs on the serial port (which has a too small "screen size" anyways to make the dashboard useful)
