I can't find CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE anywhere in menuconfig. I am having
problems not viewing the bootup messages on my monitor. I do have
console=tty0 in grub.conf.

It's the second line of the Character Devices menu:
│ │[*] Virtual terminal
│ │[*] Support for console on virtual terminal <<<<<
~Randy
Well I can't find it there. I have a 2.5.65 tree and under character
devices I have
[ ] Non-standard serial port support
Serial drivers --->
[ ] Unix98 PTY support
(2048) Maximum number of Unix98 PTYs in use (0-2048)
[ ] Parallel Printer support
I see nothing for Virtual terminal in this sub-menu. Does this depend on
another option?

If you can't get Randy to answer your question, here's another way to
find this out:
[steven@spc5 testing-2.5]$ find . -name Kconfig | xargs grep VT_CONSOLE
./arch/m68k/Kconfig:config VT_CONSOLE
./arch/mips/Kconfig:config VT_CONSOLE
./arch/mips/Kconfig:config VT_CONSOLE
./arch/sh/Kconfig:config VT_CONSOLE
./arch/sparc/Kconfig:config VT_CONSOLE
./arch/sparc64/Kconfig:config VT_CONSOLE
./drivers/char/Kconfig:config VT_CONSOLE
[steven@spc5 testing-2.5]$ uptime && uname -r
4:05pm up 23 min, 2 users, load average: 103.78, 102.87, 58.59
2.5.66

you need:
CONFIG_INPUT=y
to allow the option you're looking for to show up.

And next time he can figure this out himself looking at
drivers/char/Kconfig:
#
# Character device configuration
#
menu "Character devices"
config VT
bool "Virtual terminal"
requires INPUT=y
and just after that:
config VT_CONSOLE
bool "Support for console on virtual terminal"
depends on VT

Yes... Make sure "Input device support" is selected (Y), and also, check
that you've enabled support for the proper keyboard (if you plan to use
the console for entering commands).

Do you have Input devices enabled?
