Capturing all bootup messages

["Ogya Chief" <ogyachief@hotmail.com>]

Hi All,

When my machine is booting up, I see some fatal error messages scrolling 
past very fast. Running dmesg does not show those messages, neither does 
/var/log/messages.

My question now is this: how can I record all those messages into a log file 
or, how can I pause the system to read those message? Pressing control-C or 
shift-break does not pause the system.

I am running debian Sarge if that is relevant. Your help in this regard will 
be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Ogya
