Re: What is the trick to scroll back up and see boot messages?
You can use the console scrollback with the Shift-PageUp/PageDown keys. The
alternative is the dmesg (8) command which shows the kernel bootup and all the
later messages.
I guess the reason that not all the messages don't show in /var/log/messages
is that they are generated by the startup scripts not by the kernel.
