Also /var/db/dmesg.boot keeps a snapshot of what dmesg looked like at 
boot time as other messages may fill the buffer and push the boot state

Can also use the Scroll Lock key to pause the boot messages. And once 
paused the Page Up and Page Down keys will let you move up to that 
which has scrolled off the screen.
