Yes, /var/run/dmesg.boot is what I posted at
http://home.hiwaay.net/~dkelly/dmesg.boot

But the dmesg buffer was full before the file was written, causing the
most interesting first part to be lost. Also it doesn't capture the
panic which I could capture with a serial console.  Will connect my
Macintosh as a serial console tonight to capture the panic and boot
messages.
